Kapoor Family Secures Posthumous Copyright of Rishi Kapoor's Name to Prevent Misuse

The Kapoor family has legally secured posthumous copyright over late actor Rishi Kapoor's name to prevent unauthorized commercial and public use. This measure requires individuals or entities to obtain prior permission before using his name professionally or commercially. The move aligns with global practices where families protect the legacy and intellectual property of deceased artists. Rishi Kapoor, a celebrated Hindi cinema figure with a career spanning over five decades and 150 films, passed away in April 2020 after battling leukemia.
