There is no official announcement if there is an immediate intent to use the trademarks and how Kanye’s brand will use them as they have been filed on a 1B basis, meaning applicants don’t have to specify when that will be. The trademarks are in contrast to 1A applications, which are filed when it is already in use. The latest application comes months after West <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/kanye-west-not-interested-in-nfts-at-least-for-now/">criticized</a> non-fungible tokens in a handwritten letter posted to his Instagram on Feb. 1, a post he has since deleted. But despite his initial restraint, he now wants to enter the space, based on the newly-filed trademark applications, indicating that he is now interested in entering the metaverse.
