IP & Copyright Detection
Detect brand logos, celebrity likenesses, and copyrighted audio in any content before it goes live. One multimodal pipeline replaces three separate tools.
Legal and compliance teams, ad agencies, content platforms, and media companies that need to clear video and image content for IP violations before publication
IP clearance requires catching three distinct violation types — brand logos, celebrity likenesses, and copyrighted audio — but most tools cover only one. Teams stitch together three separate systems, creating coverage gaps, duplicated costs, and manual handoffs between tools.

Why Mixpeek
The only platform combining face, logo, and audio detection in a single parallel pipeline. Adding a new detection layer adds zero latency since all three run simultaneously. A single API call replaces three vendor contracts and eliminates the coverage gaps between them.
Overview
IP and copyright violations come in three forms: a celebrity face used without a likeness license, a trademarked logo visible in the background, and copyrighted music buried in the audio track. Most clearance workflows catch at most one of these categories. Mixpeek's multimodal pipeline detects all three simultaneously, returning a unified violation report before content ships.
Challenges This Solves
Three tools, three gaps
Separate face recognition, logo detection, and audio fingerprinting tools each cover one modality — the violations happen at the seams between them
Impact: Content that passes one tool fails on another. Teams discover violations post-publication when liability is already incurred.
Manual handoffs between systems
Running three tools in sequence means routing assets to different APIs, normalizing different output formats, and manually consolidating results into a clearance decision
Impact: 3-5 business day clearance cycles versus same-day publication schedules
Reference corpus maintenance
Keeping licensed faces, registered logos, and audio fingerprints synchronized across three separate tools creates version drift and false clearances
Impact: An expired license continues to clear assets until manually revoked in each system
