Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar gaming industry is experiencing a rapid transformation marked by exponential growth and substantial investment. The Kingdom is the 19th biggest gaming market worldwide, with an investment of $6.4 billion to support the industry’s development. The exponential growth and substantial investment in the Kingdom’s gaming industry emphasize the significance of understanding the role of its Intellectual Property law, particularly copyright, in administering this dynamic landscape. Understanding this role will help to demonstrate the Kingdom’s dedication to encouraging the growth and development of the video game industry. As part of its 2030 Vision, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has entered the gaming sector by establishing Savvy Gaming Group, which invested $1.05 billion to acquire FACEIT and ESL, forming the ESL FACEIT Group. This article examines the intersection of video games and Intellectual Property law, focusing on copyright to explore how the Kingdom’s current copyright framework accommodates the distinctive elements of the video gaming industry and addresses the legal ambiguities that potentially undermine the industry’s copyright protection and overall growth and development. The article analyses the levels of existing copyright protection and legal ambiguities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Consequently, this article proposes a copyright system tailored to the video gaming industry to address the Kingdom’s specific challenges in this domain. Conclusively, it contends that existing copyright laws do not adequately accommodate Saudi Arabia’s dynamic video gaming industry. It advocates for discussions on a new regime that caters to the industry’s unique aspects and safeguards the interests of publishers and creators in the emerging gaming sector.

“…Chang and Chen (2022) depict their solution for a mobile-based ad network that rewards podcast creators. Pittaras et al (2021) present an application guide for a mobile gaming platform based on BCT and show how advertisers might benefit from placing contextual or behavior-based targeted ads and rewarding users for their attention. In their study of vehicular advertising, Li et al (2019) consider how it might be achieved technically, in light of difficulties of vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems and the development of in-vehicle entertainment systems.…”

The increasing popularity of blockchain technology (BCT) has spurred interest in its potential to rejuvenate the digital advertising ecosystem. Due to its transparency, decentralization, and immutability, BCT offers the potential for customer-oriented, secure, and open platforms that might improve interactions between consumers and businesses. This article investigates applications of BCT in digital advertising and develops an integrative framework to classify innovations at this intersection. With a systematic literature review and Delphi study, the authors examine ten relevant use cases and compile qualitative and quantitative data on the expected probability of realization, expected impact on the industry, desirability of occurrence, and market establishment duration. The results reveal organizational activity theory–informed areas of innovation and provide useful insights for managers, researchers, and policy makers. Managers should focus on contextual innovations such as rewarding web users for web interactions, rewarding content creators for their contributions, and ensuring user data security as the most relevant potential applications. Boundary innovations require a better understanding before deploying solutions aimed at increasing advertising supply chain transparency, mitigating fraud, and verifying content. For domain-based innovation areas, researchers must rethink their foundations. Finally, the authors propose a detailed research agenda.

“…This enhances the transparency and security of rewards in location-based games, but the detection of IoT beacons is largely delayed and there is no guarantee that the location of the hunt is secure. Considering the situation that some players are unable to complete hunting tasks, Pittaras [49] developed a location-based mobile game for the interconnection of Ethereum and Hyperledger (Fabric 1.4). In Figure 23 (since the literature does not specify the design of Ethereum), only the design related to the Hyperledger is shown.…”

The convergence of blockchain with the internet of things (IoT) attracted widespread attention. Blockchain mainly solved the problem of secure storage and trusted transactions. The convergence of these two emerging technologies enhanced the security of smart services. However, there were some technical barriers to the deployment of practical IoT systems. In order to further promote the popularity and application of blockchain in the IoT, Hyperledger became the ideal technology to overcome these obstacles. In recent years, the mainstream application fields of IoT tried to carry out integration with Hyperledger to achieve high security, fine-grained privacy protection, real-time data flow, robustness, and other business requirements. However, there was a lack of literature review on this topic. This study obtained the latest related literature of Hyperledger in IoT from Web of Science, Wordlib, and EBSCO databases. To demonstrate more intuitive differences and provide a technology convergence process, this study proposes a reconstruction diagram analysis method. Reconstruction is the process of fusing the core design and the original architecture diagram in the literature and reconstructing the diagram so that it can show the core ideas of the literature. This approach aims to visualize the core ideas of the literature. Finally, this paper prospected and concluded by proposing four directions for future work, including a low-energy consensus algorithm, intelligent transaction validation, mixed on-chain and off-chain storage, and customized incentives.
