Özet

Espor, artan oyuncu ve seyirci sayısı ile giderek daha popüler hale gelmiş ve bu büyüme, çeşitli hukuki konularla ilgili sorunları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Espor, haksız rekabet hukuku, iş hukuku, sözleşme hukuku, ceza hukuku ve spor hukuku gibi farklı hukuk dallarıyla ilgili sorunları içermektedir. Espor faaliyetlerinde ortaya çıkabilecek birçok hukuki sorun olsa da, muhtemelen bu sorunlar arasında en büyük yer tutanı fikri mülkiyet hukuku ile ilgili olanlardır. Oyun geliştiriciler, oyuncular, müsabaka organizatörleri ve oyunları yayınlayanlar, kısaca espor ekosistemindeki aktörlerin tümü çeşitli fikri mülkiyet haklarına sahip olabilir. Oyunun kendisi de telif korumasına dâhildir. Ancak bu çalışma espor oyuncularının fikri mülkiyet hakları ile ilgilidir. Hem amatör hem de profesyonel spor aktivitelerinde oyuncuların çeşitli fikri mülkiyet hakları vardır. Bu çalışmada oyuncuların isimleri, görüntüleri, hareketleri, dansları, dövmeleri, performansları, yayınları, yayın çerçeveleri, avatarları, oyunda kullandıkları kostümler, oyun ekipmanları üzerindeki iyileştirmeleri ve program kodundaki iyileştirmeleri üzerinde söz konusu olabilecek fikri mülkiyet hakları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca son bölümde, esporlarla ilgili fütüristik bir bakış açısıyla bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
