Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are types of crypto-assets that function on the blockchain. Anything that one can digitize has the potential of becoming an NFT. While NFTs raise similar issues as other crypto-assets, there are many use cases and characteristics that are unique and call for special attention. At a time when individual countries have started responding to various legal issues, this volume examines these matters from a comparative law perspective.

The book approaches NFTs from a multidisciplinary perspective and provides in-depth information about the potential legal problems that arise from their use and transfer. The work looks at NFTs from different areas of law to determine the problems and how they can be resolved. Divided into seven parts, Part I introduces the key elements of NFTs and lays the foundation for the understanding of subsequent chapters. Part II focuses on NFTs from the perspective of contract law and discusses if/how they conflict with its traditional principles. Part III examines issues around intellectual property, trademark and patent law. Part IV reflects on how NFTs will transform business law. Part V deals with complex public law aspects. Part VI focuses on data and consumer protection problems that arise when NFTs become mainstream. Finally, Part VII focuses on how NFTs will change the dispute resolution process and the courts.

The book will be an essential resource for academics, researchers and policymakers working in the areas of technology and law.

Reviews for Routledge Handbook of NFT Law

NFTs are dead. Long live NFTs?! Routledge’s Handbook on NFT Law is an excellent review of the state of the art of the decentralization of law, business and technology via non-fungible tokens. Peter Mezei, Professor, University of Szeged (Hungary); adjunct professor (dosentti), University of Turku (Finland); chief researcher, Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania) Some people may believe that NFTs are a thing of the past, a blip of the pandemic world, but that would be missing its continuing importance. The Routledge Handbook on NFT Law is a timely and authoritative resource that brilliantly dissects the legal issues surrounding non-fungible tokens. With its rigorous analysis and forward-thinking perspectives, this handbook not only clarifies complex issues in intellectual property, contract law, governance, and digital asset regulation but also charts a path for future legal challenges in the digital era. There is practically no subject related to NFTs that is ignored, and each chapter is covered by an expert in the field. This edited book is a must-read for legal professionals, academics, and technology enthusiasts alike, it masterfully bridges the gap between legal theory and the practical realities of digital innovation. It’s a definitive guide that reaffirms the enduring significance of NFTs and equips readers with the insights needed to understand the various legal issues involved.
