Quick take:

  • The trademark application includes four types of virtual goods and services.
  • The company plans to offer NFTs, an online marketplace and crypto collectibles.
  • Convenience store products, gas and renewable energy products are also part of the offerings covered by the trademark filing.

American multinational energy giant Chevron has filed a new trademark with the United State Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its name and logo in the metaverse. Filed on Mar 2, the trademark application includes four international classes of goods and services.

The trademark filing reveals the company’s plans to offer NFTs and crypto collectibles. The Class 9 trademark covers “downloadable virtual goods, namely, convenience store products, gas, fuel, lubricants and renewable energy products for use online and in online virtual worlds.” 

It also extends to “downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application for users to browse and perform electronic transactions involving virtual retail consumer goods authenticated by non-fungible tokens (NFTs); non-fungible tokens (NFTs); downloadable digital images authenticated by non-fungible tokens (NFTs); downloadable virtual goods and software, namely, crypto-collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).”

Class 35 covers “retail and online retail store services featuring convenience store products, gas, fuel, lubricants and renewable energy products.” 

Notably, it appears that Chevron may be launching an NFT marketplace as its Class 35 trademark also includes the “provision of an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of downloadable multimedia files containing artwork, text, audio and video relating to retail consumer goods featuring convenience store products, gas, fuel, lubricants and renewable energy products by non-fungible tokens (NFTs); provision of an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of downloadable digital art images authenticated by non-fungible tokens (NFTs)”.

As for the Class 41 trademark, it includes “entertainment services, namely, providing on-line, non-downloadable virtual retail consumer goods featuring convenience store products, gas, fuel, lubricants and renewable energy products for use online and in online virtual worlds; providing an online non-downloadable platform for users to browse, create, modify and manipulate virtual retail consumer goods featuring convenience store products, gas, fuel, lubricants and renewable energy products for entertainment purposes.”

Last but not least, the Class 42 trademark covers “crypto-collectibles and application tokens used and transferred on software as a service (SAAS); crypto-collectibles and application tokens accessed on platform as a service (PAAS); providing non-downloadable computer software in the nature of crypto-collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).”

Chevron is one of the latest American companies to file metaverse trademarks in the last seven days. Other American brands that have filed trademark applications for virtual goods include CVS and UTZ Snacks.

USPTO trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis foresees more major retail brands to file similar trademark applications over the next 12 months.
