## **Sony Files a Blockchain and NFT-Related Patent**

**Sony has a new patent that will allow them to track changes in ownership, metadata, and visual appearance of digital assets.**

\
These assets could be moments of gameplay, in-game characters, or items.

\
According to the patent, Sony can track the history of the in-game items and see all its previous owners.

\
**They want to use a blockchain to record these items and include a token with a unique identifier.**

\
Last year, PlayStation (owned by Sony) filed this patent before gamers started losing their minds about gaming NFTs.

\
Still, Sony and PlayStation have played around with NFTs in the last few months.

\
During the EVO 2022 event, Sony asked fans what kinds of NFTs they would want to buy.

\
Also, Sony partnered with Theta Labs to launch an NFT collection.

\
PlayStation has its own Stars rewards program that features digital collectibles.

\
The company has said that these items "are not NFTs" because you can't trade them.

\
But with the new patent, it looks like Sony plans to explore and experiment on the blockchain.

\
This is ultra bullish for the blockchain gaming space because Sony is one of the biggest game publishers.
