Objectives: Intellectual property could be considered a crucial aspect to address when it comes to the Metaverse. The mere fact that Metaverses mainly take place online, allows us to associate it to, inter alia, social networks and video games. Nonetheless, a multifaceted Metaverse brings the industry with a plethora of legal issues to all, Metaverse developers, adopters and end-users. Intellectual Property licenses for brands, User Generated Content or the protection of copyrighted elements such as avatars or skins will be key in order to properly and regulate different aspects for the Metaverse to grow in a sustainable manner.
