Likeness rights infrastructure
Register the rights.
License the
likeness.
Every cleared use produces a signed, transaction-specific record. Reference material stays locked until permission and payment both clear.
For Talent & Rights Controllers
Permission, on your terms.
Register your likeness, set the scope you'll license under, and decide which packages you allow. Approve, decline or review every request that arrives. Get paid through Stripe Connect. Nothing moves until you say yes.
Apply as Talent →For Buyers & Studios
Cleared likeness, defensible by design.
License real humans through structured permission packages. Each cleared use produces a signed, transaction-specific Clearance SID tied to scope, payment and expiry — defensible, auditable, and verifiable long after the campaign ships.
Apply as Buyer →Access to the Registry is invitation and application-based, by intention.
The clearance loop
How clearance moves.
Register and verify.
Talent registers a likeness, accepts the Somata Standard Terms, and completes a verification call with admin to confirm identity and authority.
Define permissions.
Talent or Rights Controller picks the Instant Clear packages they will allow, sets scope per category, and configures pricing per use.
Clearance request and SID issuance.
A Buyer submits a structured Clearance Request. It is evaluated against your permissions, and a transaction-specific signed Clearance SID is issued.
Production and audit.
Reference material releases only after payment clears. The Studio produces inside scope, and a signed Usage Record closes the loop.
The core artefact
Every cleared use,
a signed record.
Every cleared use produces a Clearance SID — a signed, versioned, transaction-specific permission record. It references the Somata Standard Terms, ties to a specific Buyer, Studio, Campaign, permitted scope and expiry, and remains independently verifiable long after the campaign ships.
Protection, made visible.
Gated reference material
Likeness stays locked until clearance.
Reference assets stay gated until a Clearance SID is active and payment has cleared. Nothing is downloadable on speculation.
Structured permission
Every decision is explainable.
Every Clearance Request is evaluated against your permissions field by field, with a visible record of what passed, triggered review, or was blocked.
Usage record
The loop closes after production.
After production, a Usage Record declares actual outputs, channels and territory, plus a signed deletion attestation from a named senior contact.
Registry access
Access to the register is by application.
Registry is in private operation. Talent and Rights Controllers apply on one path; Buyers and Studios on another. Each application is reviewed against the Somata Standard Terms before access is granted.
