QUOTE OF THE WEEK
–Josh Gerben, trademark attorney and founder of Gerben Perrott PLLC
“I think you’re going to see every brand that you can think of make these [metaverse-related trademark] filings within the next 12 months. I don’t think anyone wants to be the next Blockbuster and just completely ignore a new technology that’s coming.”
