The US Air Force Trademarks The Digital Metaverse 'SpaceVerse'

　　The United States Air Force (USAF) has submitted a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the term “SpaceVerse” in order to expand military training into the metaverse.

　　“SpaceVerse,” according to a tweet on Tuesday, is intended to “converge terrestrial and space physical and digital realities” and “provides extended-reality training, testing, and operational settings.” It will also provide a secure digital metaverse of synthetic and virtual extended-reality (XR) training, testing, and operational settings, according to the filing.

　　Last Thursday, April 14, the application was submitted. The trademark application was accepted by the Office (it met the minimal filing requirements) but has yet to be assigned to an examiner.

　　Mastercard filed for 15 trademarks related to NFTs, crypto, and the metaverse two weeks before the USAF submission. They include NFT-backed multimedia, digital commodities markets, and payment transaction processing and e-commerce software businesses associated to the metaverse.

　　American Express, another payment company, filed for similar trademarks as Mastercard last month for “downloadable computer software for allowing the transfer of a virtual payment card to an electronic mobile wallet,” among other things.
