According to Justia, Getty Images has filed suit against a Nevada dentist. Why the heck would the dentist set up a corporation using his full name? That is not smart at all. One of the reasons of setting up a corporation to do business is to shield from personal liability. Using your REAL name as a corporation name is just plain dumb. Many self-employed people have no clue how to choose a corporation name. Incorporating your own name in a corporate name is largely a vanity move in my opinion. But I have NEVER seen a corporation which has the FIRST, MIDDLE INITIAL, and LAST NAME as a corporate name. It just doesn't get any worse than that.
People need to understand that certain parties are hand-picked for Getty Images lawsuits. And unfortunately, I am right again in regardings to Getty Images more likely to sue brick-and-mortar businesses such as a doctor's office or dentist's office.
