Video Games

Problem:

Game developers, artists, composers, and writers face rampant asset theft, unauthorized mods, unlicensed fan creations, and AI scraping of their worlds, characters, and lore. Tracking ownership, licensing, and reuse, especially across engines, platforms, and UGC ecosystems, is fragmented and hard to enforce.

How Creation Rights Solves This:

Creation Rights Management (CRM)

• Register: Studios and creators register characters, concept art, textures, audio, environments, mechanics, dialogue, and code. The Provenance Graph records who made what, when, and from what inputs (e.g., co-creators, licensed libraries, AI tools).
• License: Use Smart Licensing to define terms for mods, asset reuse, machinima, fan art, NFTs, cross-game use, or virtual world integration.
• Monetize: Dynamic Metadata encodes revenue splits (e.g., studio, freelance artists, musicians), modder agreements, platform royalties, and opt-out tags for AI training or derivative use in other engines or games.

Creation Rights Exchange (CRX)

• Verification: Game engines, marketplaces, modding platforms, streamers, and AI tools can verify rights before distributing, remixing, or monetizing content (e.g., character skins, soundtrack remixes, in-game footage).
• Enforcement: The Content ID Layer detects copied game assets (e.g., maps, characters, mechanics, dialogue), AI-generated imitations, or unauthorized mods and fan works, triggering takedown, attribution, or monetization flows.
• Interoperability: CRX integrates with Unity, Unreal, Steam Workshop, Roblox, Twitch, and metaverse platforms to automate rights tracking, license validation, and payout management.

Example Scenario:

You are an indie developer who releases a game with a unique art style and soundtrack. A month later, a popular AI modding tool clones the visuals and music into another game. CRX detects the derivative use through the Content ID Layer, and the Smart License enforces attribution, monetization, or takedown, based on the creator’s preset terms.
