For a business to be a success, they must recognize the strength of other businesses and collaborate towards each common goal. At Photochain, we understand the need for this, and our approach has always included partners.

To give you a better understanding of our partners and why we work with them, we’ve outlined the key rationale behind each partnership.

Copytrack

At the core of Copytrack is the creation of a global decentralized copyright register for digital content, which authenticates users and links digital intellectual property. This registry will generate a unique ecosystem for rights-holders, thereby providing new e-client marketplaces. With its cutting edge technology and processes, it is well-suited to globally address the key challenges in the industry and will be open to the public.

In an extremely short time frame, Copytrack has grown to become the leading company in the worldwide market of highly automated copyright enforcement. Starting in Berlin and having a presence in New York and Tokyo has allowed Copytrack to directly engage with artists and their networks all over the world.

This mission correlates to Photochain’s goal to create a decentralized copyright chain for the protection of image rights of photography on the Photochain, new generation photography monetization, platform.

As both companies aim at creating a fair exchange of images, whilst ensuring copyright protection between image providers and users worldwide, it is a perfect fit partnership.
