NFT (non-fungible tokens) terimi, misli olmayan kripto varlıkları ifade etmek için kullanılmaktadır. Son günlerde bir yatırım aracı olarak oldukça yaygın hale gelen NFT’leri kripto paralar olarak da bilinen “fungible tokens” yani misli kripto varlıklardan ayıran yönü biri diğerinin yerine geçmeyen, eşsiz kripto varlıklar olmalarıdır. Her ikisinin ortak noktası ise blokzincir teknoloji altyapısını kullanması ve transferlerinin ağ üzerinden akıllı sözleşmeler vasıtasıyla gerçekleştirilmesidir. NFT’ler için bu durum Ethereum ERC 721 standardı ile mümkün hale gelmiştir. Her ne kadar dijitalleştirilebilen her şeyden NFT meydana getirmek mümkün olsa da bu teknoloji özellikle dijital eserler için yeni bir mecra sunmaktadır. Eserlerin yaygın bir şekilde NFT meydan getirmede kullanılması ise teknolojinin fikri mülkiyet hukuku ile kesiştiği ve hukukçular tarafından da değerlendirilmesi gereken yeni bir alan ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türk fikri haklar hukuku açısından söz konusu alana ilişkin değerlendirmeler içermektedir.
NFT is the abbreviation for “non-fungiable tokens”. NFTs, which have recently become popular as a financial instrument, differ from the fungible tokens, which are also known as crypto currencies, as they are non-interchangeable and each one is unique. Both, however, use the ground of blockchain technology and are transferred via smart contracts. For NFTs, this became possible with the launch of ERC 721 standard by Ethereum. Although anything that can be digitalized may be used to mint an NFT, this technology offers a new world especially for digital art works. With the common use of art works to mint NFTs, a brand new subject matter in which the intellectual property law and technology intersect has arisen for assessment. This paper aims to explore the subject matter in terms of Turkish copyright law.
