Sony Music Files Patent for NFT-autentisert musikk

Redigering av Nath Cajuday

Sony Music Entertainment is set to join other big companies in integrating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into their platform. This is after the company filed a trademark application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) asking permission to cover “audio and video recordings featuring live musical performances authenticated by NFTs.”

Moreover, Sony’s application also applied for relevant approvals to cover marketing services, promotion, distribution, marketing, advertising, and online entertainment.

This trademark application adds to the big list of already filed patents from other Sony Music-backed NFT projects and other companies seeking to explore the NFT space this year. 

According to the USPTO, there are currently over 5,800 applications and patents concerning NFTs filed in their office this year, almost three times greater than the 2,087 applications recorded last 2021.
