Trademarks in the Metaverse White Paper

The metaverse is promising to revolutionize how the Internet is experienced.

While it offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation, this immersive new reality also presents a diverse set of challenges and legal considerations.

Due to the novelty of the metaverse, there are still several areas of trademark law and practice that are open to discussion and debate. Determining how trademark use in the metaverse may align or conflict with local legal standards for physical-world trademark use will inform how trademark rights linked to metaverse activity will be established, maintained, and enforced across jurisdictions.

Trademarks in the Metaverse explores the far-reaching implications for IP professionals and brands in the metaverse.
