NFTs are all the rage these days. These unique digital assets are wildly popular and often sell for a small fortune. But what happens when someone creates an NFT that infringes on your client’s intellectual property?
Let’s say that your client is an artist or brand that creates unique artwork or media. You get a call from your client who says someone made a digital copy of their artwork or media and is now selling it as an NFT online. After a brief investigation, you discover that the infringer created social media profiles and posts promoting these NFTs – and they’re quickly going viral.
You also learn that this infringer sells each NFT for thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars on various online marketing places. To make matters worse, you find hundreds, if not thousands, of posts, comments, and social media mentions that your client needs to prepare his case to protect his rights against this intellectual property infringement.

How does social media complicate NFT litigation?
When someone infringes upon your client’s intellectual property, enforcement is straightforward. You identify the infringer, locate and preserve the infringing content, and serve a demand letter to protect your client’s rights. But when it comes to NFTs, the infringement could be anywhere. People could copy NFTs and post them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other sites where NFTs are held and sold.
When it comes to NFT infringement, your law firm needs to be able to locate the infringing content regardless of where it is on social media or the web. You need to team up with a company with proprietary technology focused solely on social media intelligence that can be a specialist for you in the NFT space. That’s SMI Aware.
