New paper on trade marks in the metaverse
The MARQUES Cyberspace Team has published an overview of developments in trade mark law and practice as they shift to accommodate the new landscape of the metaverse, virtual goods and services, and NFTs.
The paper is available to download from the Team’s page on the MARQUES website (log-in required).
It defines the terms metaverse and NFT, discusses the classification of virtual goods and services as trade marks by EUIPO and the UKIPO, and summarises recent decisions relating to NFTs from Italy, the United States and Turkey. These include the Juventus, Hermès International, Yuga Labs, Nike, Miramax and FWRD cases.
The paper will be updated periodically with new decisions as they arise.
