IP in Metaverse: Patenting Inventions

1

• IP in Metaverse Patenting Inventions
• Its anticipated that companies and creators will
  have new opportunities to offer hardware and
  software for augmented reality (AR) and virtual
  reality (VR) devices when internet connectivity
  gives way to the Metaverse. They will aim to
  increase usability as technology develops,
  making such devices more accessible and durable.
  Intellectual property (IP) rights are
  immediately affected as more innovations become
  patented. As brands for tangible and digital
  goods, services, and tools begin to emerge, a
  virtual trademark area will be created. IP assets
  will exist in both the real and virtual worlds.
  The platforms advancement depends on user-
  generated content. In terms of trademarks, brands
  will primarily be distinguished by non-
  traditional markings like auditory marks,
  animated graphic marks, etc. A new class of goods
  and services, such as downloadable digital
  content, retail outlet services for digital
  content, and internet entertainment services,
  will need to be established since completely new
  items and services will enter the market. While
  software-related inventions, including games,
  will be subject to copyright protection,
  physical things like eyewear and other devices
  will be protected by patents. However, there are
  difficulties in patenting this cutting-edge
  technology.
• Technology to power the Metaverse is being
  vigorously developed and patented by many IT
  giants. Such patented technologies include, for
  example, systems for maximizing shared views of
  virtual objects to numerous VR headset users,
  algorithms for creating and starting to move
  simulated shapes and scenes in a VR world based
  on hand gestures, head movement, or line of
  vision of the user, systems for producing haptic
  feedback relating to users engagement with
  virtual elements in a virtualized world, and
  techniques for creating 3D characters of the
  users that simulate the use of the technology.
• What inventions qualify for patent protection?
• In general, patent applications can be submitted
  on both the software operations running within
  the metaverse framework and the hardware parts
  connected to it.
• Software advancements might comprise operations
  carried out within the metaverse framework,
  operations for accessing the metaverse framework,
  and operations for synchronizing metaverse
  framework states. The metaverse will mostly be
  constructed by modelling real-world or fictional
  environments and circumstances.
• Hardware advancements can take the form of
  improved CPUs and GPUs that are designed to host
  or assist the metaverse framework as well as
  actual access tools like extended reality
  headsets.
• Challenges in Filing Metaverse Patent
  Applications
• The need for innovation and creativity will
  likely be a significant hurdle because the
  virtual reality and augmented reality headset
  space is currently extensively patented.

• It is challenging to prosecute patent
  applications for virtual technology because of
  the strict subject matter validity rules imposed
  on software inventions under 35 USC 101 as a
  result of the US Supreme Courts decision in
  Alice Corp v. CLS Bank.
• The evaluation of a metaverse-based inventions
  novelty and non-obviousness by establishing if
  the process used within the metaverse environment
  is identical to the same approach used outside
  of it presents a significant challenge for
  software patents. If the claimed inventions
  only difference from the prior art is that it is
  only applicable to the metaverse, it might be
  difficult for applicants to defeat it.
• As shown in European Patent Office (EPO) judgment
  G1/19, patenting innovations for simulation can
  be challenging through the EPO.
