The IP In NFTs – What You Need To Know

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one of the hottest intellectual property (IP) topics currently. NFTs can be used simply for marketing purposes or as a new form of asset to attract investment or as part of the transfer of products and services into the metaverse.

This new asset class has exploded across all sectors and raises some interesting challenges from an IP perspective. While NFTs have demonstrated themselves to be a powerful tool in the new digital era, they remain poorly understood.

NFTs can refer to or contain valuable intellectual property rights, for example, digital artwork, branded goods, or logos. Ensuring intellectual property rights are protected and respected should be a paramount consideration in NFT projects.
