Further, Take-Two successfully argued that there was an implied licence on the side of the tattoo artists, to feature the tattoos as part of the players’ likenesses. The court, in this matter, opined that Take-Two was able to prove their case, on several grounds, which included their defence under the De minimis rule, stating that their use of the players’ tattoos in the NBA2K video game was so minimal, that it fell below the threshold of substantial similarity, and therefore, could not be deemed as copyright infringement. The three NBA players had licensed the use of their likeness to NBA and had also granted Take-Two their consent to use such likeness in the videogame.
