Securing the Future of IP in Virtual Worlds
As the metaverse expands and spatial computing becomes ubiquitous, we're witnessing a seismic shift in how intellectual property (IP) is valued, used, and protected in virtual spaces. The virtual world is no longer just a playground for gamers. It's rapidly becoming a canvas for brands to create immersive experiences that deepen customer engagement and open new revenue streams.
Take, for example, NBCUniversal's recent launch of ""The Office"" experience in Meta's Horizon Worlds. Fans can now step into the shoes of their favorite characters, exploring the iconic Dunder Mifflin office and participating in virtual storylines. This isn't just a game – it's an extension of a beloved brand into a new, interactive dimension.
But here's the challenge: while the potential for IP in virtual spaces is enormous, the current landscape is fraught with issues. Our research has shown that low-value spatial assets with no IP protection dominate the market, while the most creative, valuable, and technically sophisticated digital environments often remain unlicensed or unavailable. This gap represents both a risk and an opportunity for IP holders.
At Treasury, we've developed a solution to bridge this gap. We're not just a platform – we're the Getty Images for spatial assets. Our technology allows creators and IP owners to fingerprint, license, and distribute premium spatial content securely. This means companies like NBCUniversal can confidently expand their brands into virtual spaces, knowing their valuable IP is protected.
Imagine a future where you can explore the in a perfectly recreated apartments from ""Friends"", or solve mysteries in a detailed digital twin of Sherlock Holmes' home in London. These experiences are not just possible – they're inevitable. But they rely on a robust system for protecting and monetizing IP in virtual spaces.
Our approach goes beyond simple licensing. We're pioneering new technologies to protect digital assets from unauthorized use, including safeguards against AI training set ingestion. This ensures that as AI and machine learning continue to evolve, the unique value of premium IP remains intact.
The demand for high-quality, IP-driven content in virtual spaces is skyrocketing. Fans are no longer satisfied with passive consumption – they crave immersion and interactivity. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for brands to engage with their audience in new and exciting ways. However, it also necessitates robust protection to ensure that these virtual brand extensions maintain their integrity and value.
At Treasury, we're not just observing this trend – we're actively shaping it. Our platform is designed to support the entire ecosystem of spatial computing. We help premium asset creators showcase their work, assist experience builders in sourcing high-quality content, and provide IP owners with the tools they need to monetize their brands in virtual spaces securely.

A world where brands can confidently explore new dimensions of storytelling and customer engagement. A world where creators are fairly compensated for their digital innovations.
