Join Amalia Berg, Co-Chair of the WLG’s IP/IT group for a public webinar, “NFTs and Brands in the Metaverse”, on December 6th.
Metaverse, NFTs, and virtual reality are buzzwords that not only shed a light on an exciting technological future, but also on the immense challenges right owners are facing in this new virtual world. How does the use of brands in the Metaverse relate to traditional brand protection strategies? In how many ways are copyrights created and affected in virtual reality? Can existing regulations be adapted to this new reality to create new legal provisions for the Metaverse in order to grant users and right owners better protection? We'll explore these questions in this WLG | at large webinar open to all, hosted by the IP & IT Group.
