Abstract: A system and method for deriving associations between assets is disclosed. The method includes determining a first fingerprint for a first asset, determining a second asset that matches at least a portion of the first asset based on the first fingerprint, determining whether the first asset and the second asset have a common owner, and responsive to determining that the first asset and the second asset have the common owner, creating an association between the first asset and the second asset.

Abstract: A system and method for deriving associations between assets is disclosed. The system comprises a signature module, a matching module and an association module. These components of the system are communicatively coupled to each other. The signature module generates a first fingerprint for a first asset. The matching module determines a matching fingerprint that matches the first fingerprint from a candidate set. The matching module determines a first asset type for the first asset associated with the first fingerprint and a second asset type for a second asset associated with the matching fingerprint. The matching module determines an association test. The association module associates the first asset with the matching asset based on whether the association test is passed.

Abstract: A syndication system facilitates rights management services between media content owners and media hosting services that elect to participate in the syndication system and mutually elect to participate with each other. The syndication system utilizes a content recognition system to identify hosted media content and ownership rights associated with the hosted content. By applying melody recognition, the content recognition system can identify compositions embodied in hosted media content even when these compositions do not precisely match any known sound recording. Thus, the content recognition system is beneficially able to detect, for example, recorded cover performances and recorded live performances embodied in hosted media content. Once identified, ownership information is determined and the syndication system can facilitate rights management policies associated with the content such as monetizing or blocking the protected content.

Abstract: A video hosting service comprising video classifiers that identify content sources of content included in videos uploaded to the video hosting service. Identifying the content source allows a content owner of the content source to claim ownership of videos that include content based on the content source. Usage policies associated with the content owners are applied to the uploaded videos that describe how the video hosting service is to treat the videos.

Abstract: A system and method for clearing granular rights is disclosed. The system comprises communication module, a territorial requirements engine, an existing license module and a determination module. The communication module for receives, from a service provider, a description of a service to be provided for an asset in a territory. The territorial requirements engine determines a territorial requirement for providing the service in the territory based at least in part on a territorial rule for the territory. The existing license module determines a missing right based at least in part on the territorial requirement. The determination module determines a preferred licensor for purchasing a license for the missing right in the territory.
