There was a recent post from Ocean Protocol Practical about the Connections of ERC721 with IP.  A Mini backgrounder on IP as a tool to help creators and collectors. How IP connects to ERC721 NFTs. It covers for IP and Copyright Law, Copyright, Exclusive Rights and Sub-licenses.

Talking about “Practical Connections of ERC721 with Intellectual Property”. It connects IP to ERC721 NFTs at Solidity code-level implementations. Towards that, it gives a mini backgrounder on IP as a tool to help creators and collectors.

All the books you’ve read, music you’ve heard, all the movies you’ve watched use IP language & laws. All towards protecting creators & collectors.

So for ascribe, we used the language of IP to make the rights for creators & collectors maximally clear. It’s a powerful tool, and we leveraged it heavily. We also used legal contracts to help bridge the “wet code” world’s laws of IP.

Whereas ascribe was an early IP * blockchain project, IP * blockchain has now evolved into full-fledged field: NFTs. The mental model is all about access control: “your keys, your NFT.”
