Summary
The CREATOR Act creates a federal intellectual property right that lets visual artists or their heirs approve or block the commercial exploitation of works that deliberately copy their distinctive style. It applies only to intentional stylistic impersonations used in interstate commerce and does not cover general artistic influence, ideas, or common styles. The law also sets up registration, liability rules, and safe‑harbor protections for online platforms.
