NFTs and Copyright

Owning an NFT and owning the copyright in the artwork behind it are different things, and the gap between the two is where most of the confusion — and most of the disputes — live. Who holds which rights after a sale depends on what was actually agreed, not on the assumptions people bring to the transaction.

Lynch LLP works on copyright and ownership questions in digital and creative work, including the bespoke arrangements that platforms and creators put around NFTs and similar assets. Where rights actually sit in a given situation depends on the specific facts and agreements.
