McDonald’s and Panera Bread File Trademarks for NFTs in the Metaverse
McDonald’s and Panera Bread have recently filed trademarks for a digital presence within the metaverse: the fully-realized virtual reality world that has been growing in popularity, thanks in part to the burgeoning trend of NFTs as digital assets.

According to the McDonald’s trademark application, the fast-food giant is looking to “operate a virtual restaurant featuring actual and virtual goods, operating a virtual restaurant online featuring home delivery.” This could mean that in the future, virtual reality visitors could walk up to a McDonald’s in the metaverse, order a burger and fries, and receive the meal in real life.

Meanwhile, Panera Bread’s trademark application is slightly different and allows the company to have NFTs serve as a digital currency to purchase virtual food and beverages. Panera filed a trademark for the name “Paneraverse,” under which the company intends to develop virtual restaurants and real-life food delivery applications.
