Piaggio, the Italian motor vehicle manufacturer, filed an application to register the Vespa trademark, which primarily refers to the iconic scooter manufactured in 1946, signaling its ambitions to enter the metaverse and the non-fungible token (NFT) space.
According to the application, filed with the USPTO on Dec. 30, 2022, the company intends to offer:
- Virtual products with two-, three- and four-wheeled vehicles, electric scooters, electric push scooters, vehicle bodies for use in online and virtual worlds;
- NFT authenticated digital objects for use in online virtual worlds;
- Downloadable software for creating, managing, shipping and exchanging NFT and collectible digital objects.
