What do the NBA, Snoop Dogg, and Taco Bell all have in common? All have recently released non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Digital currency and assets are transforming core concepts of intellectual property law. For example, NFT transactions can include creator royalties with every transaction, completely upending the first-sale doctrine.
