PARIS HILTON VS. HALLMARK CARDS

In the world of litigation, Paris Hilton vs. Hallmark Cards is a case that is truly "hot." This California right of publicity case revolves around Hallmark Cards' use of Hilton's catchphrase "that's hot" on a greeting card without her permission. The question at the heart of it all is whether or not Hallmark's use was transformative and therefore protected under fair use. As with many legal battles involving celebrities and corporations, the case also involves using anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) law. It's a complex issue that has garnered a lot of attention and one that could have far-reaching implications for the rights of public figures in the future.
