American video game retailer, GameStop filed NFT related trademarks on March 23. They have applied for a total of two trademarks.
USPTO Trademark licensed attorney, Mike Kondoudis tweeted the same news and also disclosed that the trademarks registers GAMESTOP NFT and a stylized version of that name for NFT and Metaverse related services.
The two trademarks are for “GameStop Wallet” and “GameStop NFT”, which includes the logo as well as:
- Computer services, namely, providing temporary use of non-downloadable software applications through a website and providing temporary use of non-downloadable software for viewing and purchasing digital assets.
- hosting an interactive website enabling users to view and purchase digital assets; providing non-downloadable computer programs relating to digital assets; providing non-downloadable computer programs for managing digital assets
- providing non-downloadable computer programs for performing digital assets transactions
- providing non-downloadable computer programs for performing transactions on one or more blockchain networks
- providing non-downloadable computer programs for facilitating use of one or more blockchain networks
- providing non-downloadable software for displaying digital images, audio-visual content, video content and text associated with non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
“Gamestop is perhaps the world’s largest video game retailer. Now that Gamestop has started offering NFT-related services, it only makes sense for the company to secure trademark protection for those services” said Mr. Kondoudis.
This move does not come as a surprise since GameStop just launched the beta version of its NFT marketplace built on the Loopring L2 platform on March 23. Michael Kondoudis also announced the trademark filing applications of Facebook’s Meta implying plans for crypto and blockchain applications.
