CryptoMories Release IP Licensing to the Community
December 22nd, 2021

NFT never sleeps.

With unofficial help from a paper authored Professor Edward Lee I made my case to the CryptoMories developers for the release of intellectual property rights to the holders of each respective example of Cryptomories art.

IP is often an overlooked component regarding "ownership" of a specific example of an NFT project. The finer points of IP are not mine to articulate, but my understanding is that in the case of art, IP rights are retained by the creator of the piece by default restricting commercial use as a utility feature. The artist must explicitly grant IP to the owner of the piece in some capacity (public domain or a version thereof with upper limits to usage)

BoredApeYachtClub is the prototypical example of the power of branding, and a pioneer in distributed IP.

Professor Lee authored this paper on the IP strategy of BAYC. https://lnkd.in/e-CKpHQM

After presenting my case, and referring the Cryptomories dev team to Professor Lee's paper, I'm pleased to report that Mories have adopted BAYC's example and have released IP to owners building on a new age of decentralized IP.
