The Metaverse and Intellectual Property: From Snow Crash to Cash?

The coming Metaverse offers a Pandora’s box of opportunities for marketers. Large and small companies and corporations are staking out their claims in this new marketplace, establishing commercial beach heads in the upcoming struggle within this abstract domain. Intense patenting and trademarking efforts are now being made to obtain exclusivities. Facebook, Microsoft, Wal-Mart and many others are patenting, and countless brand companies are advertising their wares. Copyright and other issues are also involved. This talk will overview the current efforts to colonize and control this New World.
