Imagine a giant digital library of history's treasures that anyone can use, but with a smart 'digital lock' and 'rulebook' to keep things fair. It uses AI to help people describe these items correctly and a digital ledger to handle payments and permissions automatically. This makes it easy for designers or game developers to use old art without worrying about legal trouble.
Cultural institutions struggle to share digital assets because of complex copyright laws and the risk of cultural misuse. Businesses want to use these assets but fear legal penalties or public backlash.
A marketplace app, a digital ledger with smart IPR contracts, and an AI-driven tool for describing assets and detecting misuse.
If you are a game studio dealing with the legal risk of using historical assets — this project developed a digital ledger with smart IPR contracts that ensures legal compliance and clear ownership for in-game assets.
If you are a fashion brand dealing with cultural sensitivity when using traditional patterns — this project developed a hybrid contextualisation process combining user input with AI to ensure assets are used respectfully.
If you are a tourism company dealing with static, boring digital guides — this project developed a marketplace app to connect users with high-quality, verified digital cultural assets for immersive experiences.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or licensing costs for the end-user are not mentioned; the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 3,955,225.
Yes, the project is validating its results across three different real-life use cases in the fashion, gaming, advertising, and tourism industries to ensure scalability.
The project built a digital ledger with smart IPR contracts to manage intellectual property rights and ensure safe reuse of digitised assets.
It focuses on legal and societal compliance, specifically addressing intellectual property rights and cultural sensitivity in the digitisation of heritage.
Based on available project data, the development period is from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with initial deliverables already submitted between M1 and M18.
The consortium is highly commercially oriented, featuring 16 partners with a 44% industry ratio. With 8 SMEs involved and 7 industry partners across 7 countries, the project is structured for market transfer rather than pure academic research, blending technical expertise with legal and social science specialists.
