Abstract

Recently, non-fungible tokens have been attracting enormous interest. The legal regulations surrounding non-fungible tokens in Italy and the European Union suffer from insufficient and disjointed framework. As a result, several legal issues emerge from these new digital assets, such as their legal status, their mortis causa transmissibility, and the liability associated with their use. In the context of the creative sector, another relevant issue regards copyright and trademark protection, as examined in the July 2022 Court of Rome judgment.
