Photograph: VCG/Getty Images Reborn as a public figure in this, the first flowering of mass media, Einstein began to receive torrents of fan mail. “I’m burning in Hell and the postman is the devil,” he wrote four weeks after Eddington’s presentation, complaining that he was so hounded by the press that he could “barely breathe”. Still, Einstein continued to give interviews, where his easy wit and talent for aphorism made for good copy. He wrote editorials for national newspapers and kept glittering company. He had a kind of undefinable charisma. “Einstein’s personality, for no clear reason, triggers outbursts of a kind of mass hysteria,” wrote a bewildered German consul in New York in 1931. In November 2009, General Motors had placed an advertisement in People magazine that depicted Einstein’s face pasted on to a muscled body, accompanied by the slogan: “Ideas are sexy too.” The Hebrew University protested: “Dr Einstein with his underpants on display … causes injury to [the university’s] carefully guarded rights in the image and likeness of the famous scientist.” The matter is far from settled. Prof Roger Schechter from George Washington University Law School describes the law around postmortem publicity rights as “a complete mess”. While Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and Mexico have national laws that specify the definition and duration of postmortem publicity rights, in the US the law varies between states. Only 24 states have adopted a formal statute on postmortem publicity rights, which can last anywhere from 20 years after a person’s death (Virginia) to 100 (Oklahoma, Indiana). A celebrity who dies in California therefore has different rights to one who dies in New York. New Jersey, where Einstein died, is one of 17 US states that has placed no limitation on the right of an heir to profit from a dead celebrity’s publicity rights – which could allow the Hebrew University to bring legal action against alleged infringers indefinitely. “If I were looking for a problem to put on a final law exam that would put my students through their paces,” Schechter told me, “Einstein would be it.”

Outside of the US, the law is equally uneven. In Brazil, posthumous rights persist for as long as there are living heirs. In Germany, the period is 70 years. In England and Wales, by contrast, there is no clear right of publicity at all. Lawyers seeking to protect an individual’s image and personality must instead resort to what one firm describes as “ a patchwork of legal rights”. Women's Got Brains?

In 1966, Lugosi’s son sued Universal Pictures, claiming that he and his stepmother owned his father’s image rights, not the movie studio. Lugosi’s son won the case at trial, but the high court overturned the ruling on the grounds that his father had not sold his image for commercial purposes during his lifetime. Richman deduced, then, the heirs of any celebrity who had sold his or her image during their lifetime had a claim on their publicity rights.
