“The Web3 industry has embraced new IP licensing models that harness the creative forces of permission-free innovation and community to accelerate growth,” said Robert Bryan, Founder of Karate Combat. “Karate Combat recently announced that they are granting the community the right to use their IP in the NFTs and Video Games categories.
