Courses & Certification
7 modules. 5 professional tracks. From rights foundations to platform compliance. The assessment is rigorous because the credential has to mean something.
View courses→Creative works carry legal rights from the moment they are made. CIP provides a charity-led framework for declaring those rights in a form people, organisations, and AI systems can understand.
ABOUT THE CHARITY

THE CIP CURRICULUM
Copyright, moral rights, and performance rights subsist automatically in creative work. But there is no standard way to declare them in a format AI systems can read.
Your work is already in training datasets. Without machine-readable rights declarations, AI companies have no practical mechanism to respect your terms, even if they wanted to.
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
A structured framework for declaring rights, consent, and licensing terms in machine-readable form. One format. Every jurisdiction.
DEPLOYMENT
The cip.md file sits alongside your content. AI systems read it. Rights are declared at the point of creation. No intermediary.
7 modules. 5 professional tracks. From rights foundations to platform compliance. The assessment is rigorous because the credential has to mean something.
View courses→Half-day simulations. A deepfake surfaces. A client’s work appears in a training dataset. You have the law on your side — now prove it.

RIGHTS RADAR
Explore how different creative roles carry different rights exposure. 21 industry profiles, 7 rights axes, one chart.
No signup required
Understand where copyright exposure appears when creative work enters an AI pipeline.
Read the paper→8 questions. 5 minutes. Find out where your rights exposure is and what to do next.
Take the assessment→A plain-English briefing on rights reservation, deadlines, and enforcement exposure.

Copyright subsists from the moment of creation. No application, no fee. CIP gives you the tools to declare those rights in a format AI systems can read — and a framework to enforce them when they don’t.
Start with the self-assessment→When a client’s work enters an AI pipeline without declared rights, the exposure sits with you. CIP provides agency-level tools for documenting and managing rights across your entire portfolio.
See the agency track→IP rights in AI aren’t a gap in legislation — they’re a gap in implementation. CIP bridges it with machine-readable declarations, a structured classification system, and enforcement tools your clients can actually use.
Explore the legal track→AI-related IP claims are rising and most policies weren’t written for them. CIP’s GIPL insurance architecture and AI-IP risk scoring give you the framework to assess, price, and manage creative IP exposure.
See the underwriter track→The EU AI Act requires training data transparency. The UK’s Data Act gives creators TDM opt-out rights. CIP’s platform certification provides independently audited evidence that you’re meeting these obligations.
See platform certification→If your organisation uses AI-generated content or trains models on creative work, you have rights exposure. CIP’s Rights Radar and risk gravity model tell you where it is and how significant it is.
