Ep.111 In this episode of the Girl In The Verse Podcast, Melina interviews Nicolle Lafosse, a knowledgeable crypto lawyer, on the topic of businesses entering the web3 world. Together, we explore the world of NFTs and Intellectual Property, shedding light on what they are and how they work. Nicolle unveils how NFTs can hold valuable intellectual property rights, such as digital artwork, branded goods, and logos. We also chat about how some NFT creators restrict commercial use, while others offer more expansive rights to NFT owners.
