As the world's largest news and information agency, The Associated Press invests hundreds of millions of dollars every year in its newsgathering operation. AP journalists must be present whenever and wherever news occurs, at great cost to AP and sometimes at great risk to themselves. Protecting their work from misuse and illegal use, therefore, is of primary importance. AP is a leader in protecting intellectual property rights through monitoring, licensing and enforcement efforts.

AP
to build news registry to protect content
Registry will provide tools to monitor use
of AP and member content online while also enabling new business
opportunities
The Associated Press Board of Directors directed The Associated
Press to create a news registry that will tag and track all
AP content online to assure compliance with terms of use.
The system will register key identifying information about
each piece of content that AP distributes as well as the
terms of use of that content, and employ a built-in beacon
to notify AP about how the content is used. More >>
