Therefore, it is the Committee that allows sponsors to use the official trademarks of the games, leading to a mutually beneficial partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It should be noted that the use of athletes&#8217; images during the Games and for advertising purposes by brands that are not sponsors of the event, which is regulated by Rule 40 of the Olympic Charter, has been made more flexible compared to previous years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">However, on the other hand, no third party is allowed to profit from the use of the aforementioned terms without the corresponding licence to do so, as otherwise we would be facing a direct infringement of the industrial and intellectual property rights (and image rights, among others, if it affects its athletes) conferred to its owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In this sense, we can appreciate that the Paris 2024 Olympic Games not only offer us a unique sporting spectacle, but also underline the relevance of the protection of intellectual and industrial property through a rigorous management and defence of these rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Cristina Abajo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abrilabogados.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cristina_abajo_castaner_abogada.jpg\" alt=\"Cristina Abajo Casta\u00f1er lawyer\" width=\"133\" height=\"138\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paris 2024 Olympic Games have just begun, so we are immersed in the great feats already achieved, as well as those yet to be reached, which will leave unforgettable&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"sector_noticias":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3287","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
