Mercedes requests patent registration for the metaverse in the USA

The request was registered on December 14th and officially released last Monday (19th) through North American trademark lawyer Michael Kondounis. He was also the one who announced last month BMW's arrival to register an NFT brand in the USA. 

Mercedes license requests range from NFTs to virtual currency

According to the lawyer, trademark registration applications for NFTs were made for the S-Class, G-Class and Maybach automotive models, in addition to the names Mercedes and Mercedes Benz. Licenses range from digital currency to virtual vehicle parts and tokens. 

It is worth remembering that Mercedes is not the first to signal investments in the metaverse. In April, Hyundai launched its own NFTs, last month BMW also issued patent applications for the metaverse and now, in December, Aston Martin launched some models in partnership with a metaverse platform.
