IP Rights In the Metaverse
The metaverse, an immersive virtual experience building on the Internet and the physical world, has become a prominent force in branding and marketing for companies struggling to keep up in an ever so globalized economy. Fashion brands, and particularly luxury retail houses, are capitalizing on the popularity of virtual world games among younger generations by collaborating with gaming companies like Roblox and Fortnite in producing lines of virtual fashion goods.
