- Intellectual property protection of virtual assets in the metaverse is complex due to their virtual nature, and unauthorized copying or use may occur.
- User data collection, processing, and storage in the metaverse raise privacy and security concerns, requiring legal considerations and regulatory compliance.
- As the metaverse continues to evolve, legal frameworks and regulations are being developed to address the legal concerns of real estate in the virtual world.
