Sony Interactive Entertainment has applied for NFT-related patents to allow consumers to use NFTs in the Sony ecosystem, such as PlayStation, and stated that NFTs can be used on game consoles "made by Microsoft or Nintendo." The NFT is used on multiple different computer simulation platforms, and the ownership of the NFT may also be transferred to other users for them to use on different platforms.” Sony had previously applied for an NFT patent in November last year, but was rejected for failing to "integrate abstract concepts into practical applications." Sony has also explored the use of blockchain technology for music copyright management and education.
