/*this is not legal advice*\ without knowing too much I would be hesitant to mint an NFT without having the copyright to it.

To me this looks like a licensing regime more than a way to “register” IP. The USPTO and Copyright Office governs registration in the US. But there’s no agency that oversees licensing, so you can have smart contract code that sets forth who is allowed to use your IP and for what purpose.

At Consensus, I talked to some of the people at the CFTC and I asked if they were planning to hire some people who were crypto/software experts in anticipation of the FIT21 bill passing. And they were like “Nooooo we can do the same market analysis we’ve been doing.” 🤦‍♂️

Reading between the lines, it appears @ensdomains may be concerned that if the patent is valid, UD could try to assert it against @ensdomains

Yesterday, ENS petitioned to challenge the validity of UD’s patent. As I mentioned in a Blockworks article from earlier this year on the issue, ENS appears to be asserting that the invention in the UD patent was not new since ENS created this earlier. https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-patents-open-source-ethos

🌟Had an incredible time attending the Web3 Innovation Summit in Chicago hosted by 1871! It was a great event and even better to see all of the innovation in the blockchain space coming from Chicago.

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.

While the 112 page report seems like a nothingburger (the USPTO concluded that the existing IP law is sufficient to address infringement concerns related to IP), commenters highlighted crucial concerns regarding IP rights within the NFT ecosystem.

It’s amazing that Satoshi envisioned changing the decimal place for bitcoin 15 years ago. I still think that psychologically more retail investors would like being able to purchase multiple mBTC than having to buy a small fraction of a bitcoin.

Thanks @codeofcrypto! I think there is value to protecting IP in web3 that’s a little overlooked at the moment
