Patents are often the bedrock of new innovation, and a suite of patents defining how AI-generated music can be created, licensed and monetized has hit the market — with multiple AI companies lined up to license them.

Music IP Holdings, a company formed last year out of a strategic partnership with Universal Music Group and the intellectual property management firm Liquidax, has licensed a portfolio of more than 24 patents to the AI music platforms Udio and GRAI. The collection of patents covers a wide swath of elements associated with the rise of AI music, including moderation, watermarking, licensed distribution and monetization.
