NFTs – Where Will We Be in Five Years Time?

About this event

The utility of NFTs is increasingly being explored across a range of industries, from art and fashion to real estate and climate change. How will gamification play a role in the development of NFTs and DeFi? How can NFTs be used to push the boundaries of the social media landscape? And where will the legal space be in 5 years time compared to where it sits today? Come along on 29th May to hear from a range of viewpoints about the future of the space!

NFTs and the Law: Where do we stand?

NFTs present a new and interesting challenge for the legal system. Should they fall under the same regulations as traditional artworks? How do we create legal contracts when both parties may be anonymous? How do we tax sales made in cryptocurrencies? And how do we enforce any laws that we do put in place? In this panel, we’ll be examining these issues, alongside many others, to gain an insight into the IP landscape around NFTs.
