The evolving nature of Metaverses introduces a multifaceted legal environment that necessitates comprehensive frameworks and perhaps new practices to address intellectual property rights, personality rights, product safety, data protection, contract and tort liabilities (LawVerse), and operational resilience concerns, specifically for clinical metaverse content (MedVerse).

Abstract

The evolving nature of Metaverses introduces a multifaceted legal environment that necessitates comprehensive frameworks and perhaps new practices to address intellectual property rights, personality rights, product safety, data protection, contract and tort liabilities (LawVerse), and operational resilience concerns, specifically for clinical metaverse content (MedVerse). Generally speaking, all concerns have a supranational or international scope and go beyond the perspective of a particular legal system. Examples of such challenges include how to create policies from a comparative standpoint and what legal rules should be in place to sufficiently safeguard, for instance, intellectual property rights and privacy in Metaverses. To address Metaverses’ challenges, policymakers need a global, holistic perspective encompassing all sectors of law. Key strategies include fostering international collaboration and adopting an interdisciplinary approach, ensuring standard but also regulatory flexibility, in order to prioritize user protection, integrating ethical considerations, promoting education, and embracing continuous policy review and adaptation. The transnational and adaptive approach seeks to develop effective policies that protect rights and interests within the diverse and evolving landscapes of the Metaverse applied to healthcare sector, the so-called MedVerses.
