It is difficult to argue the way the domain name system has evolved has been good for business. The amount of time and money businesses devote to avoiding domain name conflicts often seems disproportionate to the value of any given domain name. In the very recent past, it was science fiction to think any small and medium-size businesses could create an online store and sell products to the world on demand. The metaverse, in part, enabled by the creation of NFTs, is truly the stuff of science fiction. Trademarks in the metaverse are different from domain names, but if there is a lesson to be learned, it is that – this time – adapting existing rules does not make new ones
