Talking Points:
- The legal impact of Neiro acquiring exclusive rights to the Neiro IP and how it sets precedent for licensed memecoins.
- How decentralized projects like Neiro can engage in binding IP agreements while remaining community-led
- Neiro as an example of how memecoins are adapting to growing legal expectations and regulatory clarity.
