Elvis estate polices likeness rights and profits
MEMPHIS AP The Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc trust guards the late star's name and image. Barry Ward says any commercial use requires a deal with the estate, which earns about 15 million dollars yearly and draws 650000 visitors to Graceland. The estate asserts publicity rights passed to Lisa Marie Presley and fights copycat or unlicensed uses through court orders and vigilant monitoring.
