YOUR WORK CARRIES RIGHTS. CIP MAKES THEM KNOWN.

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.

THE CIP CURRICULUM

We educate AI Training Rights for Creators

THE PROBLEM

UNRESOLVED
VECTOR 01

RIGHTS EXIST. INFRASTRUCTURE DOESN’T.

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.

VECTOR 02

AI TRAINING HAPPENS ANYWAY.

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.

01

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

THE CIP STANDARD

A structured framework for declaring rights, consent, and licensing terms in machine-readable form. One format. Every jurisdiction.

02

DEPLOYMENT

TOOLS THAT WORK

The cip.md file sits alongside your content. AI systems read it. Rights are declared at the point of creation. No intermediary.

WHO IT’S FOR

6 PROFESSIONAL TRACKS
CREATORS

Your rights are already there.

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
AGENCIES

Your clients’ rights are your liability.

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
LAWYERS

The law exists. The infrastructure doesn’t.

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
UNDERWRITERS

Price the risk properly.

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
PLATFORMS

Compliance is coming. Build for it.

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
BOARDS & COMPLIANCE

Know your exposure.

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.
