Abstract :
This space can be categorized as either realistic or non-realistic. The realistic Metaverse mirrors the characteristics of the physical world, allowing businesses to perform legal actions, including conducting transactions. The primary question this research seeks to answer is: What is the nature of the Metaverse, what are its characteristics, and what challenges might its recognition pose within Iran's legal system for business presence and activity? To address this question, the present qualitative study employs a documentary method in two main discourses. The first discourse explores the concept and characteristics of the Metaverse, while the second examines the legal challenges associated with its recognition. These challenges include issues related to ownerless property, performance guarantees, ethical concerns, material and intellectual property rights, and the qualification of participants. In conclusion, the study provides strategic recommendations to address these challenges, including the establishment of an international forum to resolve transnational legal issues, the recognition of cryptocurrencies, the development of mechanisms for user authentication, and public awareness initiatives to navigate freedom of expression concerns.
