The trademarks, filed under “Slim Jim,” “Meataverse” and “Long Boi Gang,” outline plans for the company to offer “services featuring virtual goods, virtual food products and non-fungible tokens,” along with “providing a metaverse for people to browse, accumulate, buy, sell and trade virtual food products.”
