USPTO Alert

Name, Image, Likeness for student-athletes

Dwayne Allen played as a tight end for seven seasons in the NFL, five with the Indianapolis Colts and two with the New England Patriots. Even before becoming a Super Bowl LIII Champion, Allen had to learn about protecting his name, image, and likeness (NIL) for various television appearances and the video game Madden NFL.

Now, as a Player Director for the National Football League Players Association, Allen provides guidance to new and upcoming NFL athletes about life in the league and opportunities off the field. He wants to share some insight with you too!

Allen will join USPTO Deputy Director Derrick Brent for a fireside chat to discuss NIL for student-athletes on Friday, November 15. Join us online or in person at the University of San Francisco School of Law for this daylong event. In addition to the fireside chat, we'll have expert panelists who will discuss:

Basic NIL rules
Benefits of registering a trademark as a student-athlete
Common pitfalls regarding NIL contracts
