The licence
How AI companies license data: hand-over, exclusivity and payment
Updated
Buyers describe the mechanics differently, and most leave at least one of these questions unanswered on their pages.
Check my company's records Send the size of the company, the systems the records sit in and how many years they cover. We reply with the buyers whose stated asks fit and what has to come out first.
Handing the data over
8 buyers say how the data moves. Grepped connects to a team's tools read-only, License My Data has the seller run a one-time export, Maryah moves data to an agreed controlled environment after a deal, and Troveo says it guides the seller through the export and handles the anonymisation and packaging.
Exclusivity, where a buyer states it
Only License My Data addresses exclusivity on the pages on the table: depending on the buyer, a non-exclusive licence you can place again and again, or a one-time exclusive buyout. The other 11 do not state it on the pages on the table.
How sellers are paid
2 buyers describe a share of licensing revenue, Troveo and Wirestock. 6 describe payment another way, such as payment on acceptance of the dataset at Nyne or pay for every approved sale at Maryah, and 4 say nothing about it.
