The courts haven't even determined whether anyone even "owns" an NFT, so no.

For the downvotes, I'll add some further explanation: you have access to the keys in order to perform a sale of "your" NFT, but no US court (I am unsure of other countries) has yet ruled in a case that clarifies whether a person actually owns an NFT. For example, they have not ever ruled against someone who has "stolen" an NFT. Therefore, there is no case law that says whether a person legally "owns" an NFT.
Don't just take my word for it:
> Ultimately, an NFT owner has access to the underlying asset, but they may lack exclusive access to or control of the asset, let alone ownership of the asset or any intellectual property (IP).
