O presente artigo analisa a possibilidade jurídica de exploração econômica de bens públicos mediante cessão onerosa do direito de denominação. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa e teórica, com emprego dos métodos indutivo e comparativo, uma vez que foram analisados casos concretos de cessão onerosa de naming rights de bens públicos, especialmente da experiência estrangeira. No primeiro tópico, analisa-se a forma de gerenciamento de bens públicos em um novo contexto da Administração Pública, considerando o princípio da eficiência e a funcionalidade dos bens públicos. Posteriormente, contextualiza-se a questão da comercialização dos naming rights para fins publicitários. No terceiro tópico, reflete-se acerca da viabilidade de utilização da cessão onerosa de naming rights como forma de exploração de bens públicos, observando a sua compatibilidade com as normas do direito brasileiro. Conclui-se, por fim, ser possível a aplicação dos naming rights como meio de exploração econômica de bens públicos no Brasil, em que pese a inexistência de autorização legislativa expressa para sua realização, desde que observados alguns limites e parâmetros.
