They represent a new horizon in the intellectual property space as well. The developments in the domain of Metaverse and NFTs call for the need to understand the value of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Digital assets, such as NFTs can be bought, traded, or licensed \u2013 similar to physical&nbsp;properties. As a result, a virtual firm may have a virtual product design with numerous features that require protection under various intellectual property laws, such as trademark, copyright, and industrial design. Knowledge about fundamental IP rights will benefit all who are engaged in selling or minting digital assets, also for those who intend to curb misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will discuss the terms &#8220;Metaverse&#8221; and &#8220;NFTs,&#8221; the role of NFTs in the Metaverse, and the importance of IP in the NFT ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ede2d3a9458\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ede2d3a9458\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#General_Overview_of_Metaverse\" >General Overview of Metaverse<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#What_are_NFTs\" >What are NFTs?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#Role_of_NFTs_in_the_Metaverse\" >Role of NFTs in the Metaverse<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#Importance_of_NFT_IP_Rights\" >Importance of NFT IP Rights<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#The_Way_Forward\" >The Way Forward<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/metaverse-and-nft-ip-rights-protecting-your-digital-assets\/#Having_Queries_Contact_Us_Now\" >Having Queries?

It recently became popular when Mark Zuckerberg announced rebranding Facebook to Meta. The definition of Metaverse varies, but as a concept, it aims at providing an immersive digital 3D virtual space. At present, Metaverse does not exist entirely; however, certain elements similar to the metaverse space exist. The Metaverse will base on virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies. It could also include multiple 3D spaces interconnected to provide a holistic experience for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, in the Metaverse, each user can have a virtual character known as a virtual avatar. The virtual avatar could exist in multiple 3D spaces of the Metaverse. For example, the numerous 3D areas may include virtual conference rooms, gaming fields, shopping complexes, doctor\u2019s clinics, etc. The user may experience each virtual 3D space using VR technologies, such as the Oculus VR headset. Also, the user may enter the virtual conference, play in the virtual field, experience shopping, etc., by using the VR technologies, all from the convenience of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, let\u2019s discuss the NFTs and their role in the Metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_NFTs\"><\/span>What are NFTs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NFTs are a type of cryptographic element. Unlike a cryptocurrency, which is a form of fungible token that is not unique, each NFT is unique and cannot be duplicated. The NFTs are related to different types of digital and physical assets, such as digital art, a hand-drawn painting, a 3D gaming character, social media posts, videos, etc. Although the copyright of an NFT always remains with the creator of the asset, a user can purchase an NFT to become its owner. It is similar to owning a traditional painting. For example, if you buy a painting, you can hold it but cannot claim its creation. Similarly, one can transfer the ownership of an NFT the same way. However, the creator will remain the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NFTs exist on a blockchain. The most common blockchain used for NFT is the Ethereum blockchain. Other blockchains used for NFTs include Solana, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Terra, Cardano, etc. Each NFT comprises a unique digital signature linked to it. The NFTs are embedded with smart contracts containing details about the digital or the physical asset relating to the NFTs. Some famous NFTs are CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), RTFKT, Decentraland, Sandbox, NBA Top Shot, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1.png\" alt=\"example-of-an-NFT\" class=\"wp-image-23853\" width=\"418\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1.png 782w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1-768x769.png 768w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/sagaciousresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Example-of-an-NFT-1-320x320.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Figure 1: Example of an NFT (<a href=\"https:\/\/onlineonly.christies.com\/s\/beeple-first-5000-days\/beeple-b-1981-1\/112924\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Source<\/a>)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_of_NFTs_in_the_Metaverse\"><\/span>Role of NFTs in the Metaverse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NFTs (also known as virtual collectibles) are valuable elements of the Metaverse. With NFTs, a person can experience the virtual world of the Metaverse as they do with the actual world. NFTs combined with the AR, VR and MR technologies in the Metaverse could provide the user with an entirely new experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The in-game assets can also be NFT-based. For example, the virtual avatar of the user can be an NFT. The virtual shopping complex could include various NFTs, such as in the form of art, sneakers, etc. The NFTs can be viewed in the virtual space and can be purchased by the user entirely within the Metaverse. Let\u2019s say the virtual avatar (which is NFT-based) enters the virtual gaming field, and the user can engage in the game using AR technology, the virtual avatar then enters the shopping complex and views products (which are NFT-based), such as the sneakers, paintings,&nbsp;and so on. Music can also be linked to NFTs. Within the Metaverse, the users&#8217; virtual avatars would be able to listen to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of NFTs and Metaverse is already gaining immense popularity. NFTs are being sold for massive amounts based on the current market trend. People are increasingly becoming more inclined to purchase digital assets, such as NFTs. NFTs can be bought and minted using cryptocurrencies, such as Ether on the Ethereum blockchain. Thus, NFTs hold a great value in today\u2019s world. NFTs, in association with Metaverse, have significant economic growth and an entertainment value, both of which are important to a user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next section, we will talk about the importance of IP in NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_NFT_IP_Rights\"><\/span>Importance of NFT IP Rights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An asset, such as an NFT, with substantial economic and technological importance, needs to be protected with IP. Intellectual property can be of different types, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trademark<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copyright<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trade secret<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial design rights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of NFTs, we shall talk about two types of IP that need to be protected, i.e., trademark and patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Trademark for NFTs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, many business owners have been showing interest in trademarking their NFTs. Trademarks allow the brand name or the associated logo to be protected. By registering their trademark, a user can prevent third parties from misusing their brand name. For example, if an unauthorized party tries to sell or mint an NFT that includes a registered trademark, such as a logo, then selling or minting such an NFT is an infringement of the owner&#8217;s trademark. Thus, it is important for business owners, small and large, to trademark their NFTs to prevent infringement by unauthorized parties. One such example is a trademark filed by <a href=\"https:\/\/tsdr.uspto.gov\/#caseNumber=97107367&amp;caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CONVERSE<\/a> on November 3, 2021. Another example is a trademark filed by <a href=\"https:\/\/tsdr.uspto.gov\/#caseNumber=97115394&amp;caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CLINIQUE<\/a> on November 9, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Patents for NFTs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each patent needs to be novel, non-obvious, and should have an industrial application. Thus, a new technology that is used to generate an NFT can be patented. For example, a virtual avatar based on an NFT could have specific characteristics. The virtual avatar could have distinct physical attributes and skills, which may be unique. The technologies for developing such unique virtual avatars could be patented if they meet the criteria of being \u201cnovel, non-obvious, and possessing industrial application.\u201d An example of an NFT-based patent is a patent filed by NIKE titled \u201cvideo game integration of cryptographically secured digital <a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US20200184041A1\/en?q=NFT&amp;assignee=nike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">assets<\/a>.\u201d Another example is a patent filed by Americorp Investments titled \u201cManagement Of Virtual Goods In Distributed Multi-Ledger Gambling <a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US20190221076A1\/en?q=NFT,non+fungible+token&amp;q=cryptographic+element&amp;q=game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Architecture<\/a>.\u201d Such patents can then be sold or licensed by the patentee (i.e., the patent holder) to monetize their patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Way_Forward\"><\/span>The Way Forward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be stated that NFTs, in association with Metaverse, are here to stay and will contribute to the advancement of technologies in the future. It is of utmost importance that IPR should be kept in mind, especially for NFTs, where anyone can misuse them. Moreover, enough understanding of an individual\u2019s fundamental IP rights will benefit all who are engaged in selling or minting digital assets, such as NFTs. Furthermore, the hard work and ownership of the creators of the NFTs can be protected only when their IP is protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sagacious IP believes that technology has the ability to change people&#8217;s lives.
