The long-awaited Image Rights legislation in Guernsey has now been made available for consultation. The consultation period runs until 7 March 2012. This briefing note sets out the key points of the Image Rights (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance, 2012 (the "IR Ordinance").

Introduction

The IR Ordinance establishes a new form of intellectual property, previously unrecognised in a registrable form anywhere else in the world. It centres on two key concepts - the "registered personality" and the "registered image".

The core right is the registered personality. Personality refers to:

natural or legal persons;
a joint personality;
a group; or
a fictional character of a human.
