Take-Two has won a trial brought by a tattoo artist, who had claimed that the use of their work on the likeness of basketball star Lebron James in NBA 2K deserved compensation.
2K Games parent Take-Two successfully convinced an Ohio jury on Friday that it had an implied license to depict James’ tattoos, based on its agreement to use his likeness in the games.
The jury, therefore, determined that tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden’s copyrights had not been infringed.
