📢 Today, the USPTO wrapped up its joint study on #NFTs, aiming to unravel the complexities of intellectual property rights in the digital age. 🚀💻 #web3

Really interesting report from the US Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) on IP + NFTs. @dberg 

Notably, Senators Leahy (VT) and Tillis (NC) commissioned the study.

@campick what are some of the main concerns related to IP rights in the NFT ecosystem?

I think there are two big concerns. 1) most buyers don’t know if they what IP rights they get if any when they purchase an NFT. And 2) buyers don’t know if the seller copied someone else when making the NFT. So they could be purchasing a copy unbeknownst to them.
