Kanye West files metaverse and NFT trademark applications for Yeezus
Months after saying ‘STOP ASKING ME TO DO NFTs,’ Kanye West appears to have finally succumbed to the burgeoning industry. The artist might soon make his NFT debut after filing 17 trademark applications for his brand Yeezus.
“Ye,” as the popular entertainer is commonly known, made multiple U.S. federal trademark registration filings for Yeezus through his Mascotte Holdings, Inc. company late last month.
Josh Gerben, the trademark attorney and Founder of Gerben Perrott, confirmed via Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) that recent trademark applications indicate that West is seeking the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) approval to launch blockchain-based non-fungible assets, along with currencies, tokens and an online retail store service featuring digital arts.
Kanye West has filed 17 new trademark applications around his YEEZUS name.The filings indicate an intent to launch YEEZUS-branded amusement parks, NFT’s, toys and more.
