Inventive property rights (IPR) issues became very important after the announcement of the metaverse. As in the metaverse, the traditional laws of IPR are applicable, and research on new laws that are dedicated to the metaverse has started. In this research paper, we analyze development in this area. We use the Scopus database to examine how metaverse entrepreneurship and IPR rights have evolved over time. We used different parameters such as collaboration index, citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrences to measure the growth in the respective area. This study’s results support the idea that studies examining this issue have been mushrooming in recent years. In addition, new issues and areas of study on intellectual property rights have emerged due to the analysis.

虚拟世界宣布后，发明产权（IPR）问题变得非常重要。与虚拟世界一样，传统的知识产权法仍然适用，并且专门针对虚拟世界的新法律的研究已经开始。在这篇研究论文中，我们分析了该领域的发展。我们使用 Scopus 数据库来研究元宇宙创业和知识产权如何随着时间的推移而演变。我们使用不同的参数，如协作指数、引文分析和关键词共现来衡量各自领域的增长。这项研究的结果支持了这样的观点，即近年来检查这个问题的研究如雨后春笋般涌现。此外，由于分析，还出现了知识产权新问题和研究领域。
