The use of a citizen’s portrait for profits without his consent shall be prohibited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 120<\/strong> If a citizen’s right of personal name, portrait, reputation or honor is infringed upon, he shall have the right to demand that the infringement be stopped, his reputation be rehabilitated, the ill effects be eliminated and an apology be made; he may also demand compensation for losses.<\/p>\n<p>The above paragraph shall also apply to infringements upon a legal person’s right of name, reputation or honor.<\/p>\n<p>Although not explicit in the law, portrait rights in China apply to the deceased as the Supreme Court made clear in Zhou Haiying v. Shaoxing Yuewang Jewellery and Gold Co., Ltd. for violating Lu Xun’s portrait right.\u00a0 The Court ruled that portrait rights continue after death and a close relative has the right sue on behalf of the deceased.\u00a0 Accordingly, Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, may need to be a named plaintiff in the current lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Further, other cases indicate that drawn or cartoon images of persons are also protected by portrait right.\u00a0 As long as the person is identifiable in the image, portrait rights are infringed regardless of the medium (painting, sculpture, etc.).\u00a0 For example, in Beijing Huariling Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. and Zhang Zhensuo (stage name: Zhang Liang), the First Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing held that a cartoon reproduction of the plaintiff violated his portrait rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Michael Jordan was less successful in the Supreme Court based on a silhouette of a basketball player not showing any facial characteristics.\u00a0 The Supreme Court explained “the “portrait” protected by the right of portrait should be identifiable, which should contain enough information to enable the public to identify the corresponding right’s subject, that is, the personal characteristics of a specific natural person, so that it can clearly refer to the corresponding right’s subject…the facial features of natural persons are the most important personal characteristics of their physical features.”<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-203\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-203\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chinaiplawupdate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Jordan-250x300.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Jordan silhouette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In contrast, in the instant case, multiple characteristics potentially identifiable as belonging to Bruce Lee, including his facial characteristics, are present.\u00a0 Accordingly, Bruce Lee Enterprises, LLC\u00a0 and Bruce Lee’s daughter could prevail if the Shanghai Second Intermediate People’s Court rules that the Zhengongfu image is identifiable as Bruce Lee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Earlier this month, Bruce Lee Enterprises, LLC sued Shanghai Zhengongfu Fast Food Management Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Zhengongfu Catering Management Co., Ltd., and Guangzhou Zhengongfu Fast Food Chain Management Co., Ltd.
