So far, many well-known brands have filled out applications. These include Absolute Vodka, <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2022\/12\/04\/nike-files-nft-and-metaverse-trademarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Nike<\/a>, and Yves Saint Laurent. And the latest is Irish Distiller International, the company behind Jameson whiskey.<\/p>\n<p>As recently reported,<a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2023\/01\/31\/irish-distillers-make-bold-move-into-the-metaverse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Irish Distillers Make Bold Move Into The Metaverse\"> Irish Distillers <\/a>plan to use NFTs for virtual clothing, footwear, and alcoholic drinks. Also, they need a trademark for NFT trading software, trading marketplaces, virtual bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>This is quite interesting as it signifies positioning as the metaverse takes shape. When you register a trademark in the US, you must use it for the specified products and services, or you can also license it out.<\/p>\n<p>Kondoudis told Coin Telegraph, \u201cThese trademark filings are reliable signals of future plans to use marks for the products and services listed in the applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this pace continues, this year could surpass last year for the number of NFT-related patents filed.
