As generative AI companies rush to secure content licensing deals, IP holders face a critical question: How do you maintain control and visibility over your content once it’s in an AI system?
The reality is that most licensing agreements leave creators and rights holders operating blind. You sign a deal, receive payment, and then… what? How do you know if AI companies are adhering to the agreed-upon terms? How can you verify that your content isn’t being used beyond the contractual scope? And perhaps most importantly, how do you ensure you’re not just getting a one-time payment while AI companies profit from your work indefinitely?
TraceID‘s AI Protection and Licensing Platform ensures you’re never operating blind, whether you choose to license your content or protect it entirely.
How TraceID Safeguards Your IP
Our automated detection system identifies when your content appears in AI-generated outputs across the internet. This means you can track unauthorized use even after licensing deals are signed and monitor whether AI companies are actually adhering to agreed-upon usage terms. The system works continuously in the background, giving you ongoing visibility into how your IP is being utilized.
When issues arise, you need proof. TraceID builds comprehensive records of infringement that can be used for negotiations or legal action. You can prove when your IP is being used beyond contractual scope and maintain detailed audit trails of how your content appears in AI systems. This documentation becomes invaluable leverage in any discussion with AI companies about compliance or renegotiation.
TraceID offers two operational modes depending on your business strategy. In Protection Mode, you can detect and stop unauthorized AI use of your content entirely, eliminating lost revenue. When you choose Licensing, our platform helps you negotiate from a position of strength with clear data on your content’s value and usage. Most importantly, we track ongoing usage to ensure you’re not just getting a one-time payment while AI companies profit indefinitely from your work.
Beyond financial concerns, your reputation matters. TraceID monitors how AI systems are representing your work, identifies inappropriate or off-brand uses of your licensed content, and alerts you when your IP appears in contexts you didn’t authorize. This quality control ensures that licensing deals don’t come at the cost of your brand integrity.
The TraceID Advantage
TraceID gives you what most licensing agreements don’t:
- Visibility into how AI systems actually use your IP
- Control over your licensing decisions backed by real usage data
- Revenue protection through ongoing monitoring and enforcement
- Negotiating power with documented evidence of your content’s value
- Peace of mind knowing unauthorized use will be detected
The AI licensing landscape is evolving rapidly, and content creators need tools that match the sophistication of the AI companies themselves. Don’t sign away your IP rights without the systems in place to verify compliance and protect your long-term interests.
The question isn’t whether AI will use creative content, it’s whether creators will have the visibility and control to protect their interests when it does. With TraceID, you don’t have to choose between participating in the AI economy and maintaining control over your work.
