Hello Jack and All who may receive this message:

If someone, or some organization claims ownership to all likenesses, of
a particular personality, "Trade marking", (for instance, images of Mr.
Cesar Chavez), does it mean that no one else may use that likeness in a
book, or any public media without permission? Are there limits to what
"Trade marking" can control and can't control?

I truly appreciate any help I can receive regarding this issue.

Kind regards,
