The English Premier League is gearing up to expand into the digital scene after the soccer league filed two cryptocurrency and NFT trademarks in the U.S.
While the trademarks were announced in a tweet by licensed trademark attorney Michael Kondoudis (Kon/dow/dis) just yesterday, the trademarks were filed last week.
The EPL is one of the largest sporting organisations in the world along with the NFL, NBA and NHL.
The two patents were filed to use trademarks associated with the league - one of them, the league’s name and logo and the other: a “loving cup trophy” with a crown on top and lions on each handle..
The trademark filings cover the creation and sale of digital assets, virtual clothing, cryptocurrencies, and media files verified by NFTs and also include the use of Premier League trademarks in any virtual, augmented, or mixed reality.
