: How would that be handled?
: : : :Mr. Auslander:

: : : Thank you again for the answers to my questions. It seems we should consider enlisting professional help at this point.
: : : A big issue with my husband is professional sports people who make money off autographs, as he feels the fans pay the salaries and deserve them for free!
: : : Thanks again,
: : : WH

: : : : : : The person claims these things have been used and also signed by him, which is just not the case, and this is how he is profiting from them.
: : : : : : : Thank you for the reply.

: : : : : : : W.H.

: : : : : : : : : My husband retired from sports quite a few years back. We have discovered objects being sold off and online claiming to have been autographed by him. Is copywriting his signature a good idea and would this prevent people from using his signature?

: : : : : : : : : Thank you

: : : : : : : : Dear Whysperss Hinson,
: : : : : : : : I do not believe that you can stop the sale of an object. Unconcented duplication or forgery may be actionable. Copyright won't work.

: : : : : Would trademarking or anything such as that keep others from using/copying his mask and/or signature?
: : : : : Or any suggestions where to go from here exactly?

: : : : : Thank you again,
: : : : : WH
: : : : Dear Mrs. Hinson,
: : : : You have my sympathy. I can't afford to go into the details. There may even be a crime involved on his part, as you put the facts.
