The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) published an item titled “Game on: Navigating intellectual property in esports” on June 9, 2024.

IP and competitive gaming

The title places intellectual property in esports at the center of the item. The available information does not describe its contents or identify specific issues it addresses.

That leaves the practical implications for players and competitive scenes unclear.
