Digital Intangibles: How NFTs Transform the World of Art and Sports Memorabilia
An NFT is unique digital object that represents the digital asset or a particular right in the underlying asset. When a particular piece of digital art is tokenized with an NFT, the data (artist information, signature, purchaser history, etc.) is stored on the blockchain.

Because the blockchain is both immutable and open source, anyone can view the digital provenance of a particular NFT. While this also means that anyone can view the piece of digital art, as is the case with most high-value tangible art, true ownership of the art is stored on the blockchain which, in theory, should create a strong market for authenticated ownership that parallels that of tangible pieces of art.
IP as a Business Asset: 5 Takeaways from Educating the Next Generation of Business Leaders
 I predict that IP will become an integral part of business education in 10-15 years, as more electives are offered by MBA programs, and as other efforts are being made to bring IP awareness into mainstream business management. 

Careful planning needs to go into making IP classes relevant and engaging for business students, but this will eventually result in better IP management decision being made across organizations.
