abstract = {The paper examines the challenges that Intellectual Property (IP) rights pose within artificial intelligence (AI) and further into the Metaverse, the constantly developing virtual world wherein one is allowed to create, trade, and own digital assets. The increasing development of AI-generated content and virtual environments has also challenged the traditional notion of authorship and ownership and, thus, to the existing regimes regulating IP. This paper discusses the current legal framework, case studies on AI-generated content, and IP use in Metaverse through smart contracts and blockchain technology. Moreover, this paper examines the ethics involved in such development and public policy reforms that can be implemented in the IP law relating to this evolving technology. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.},
