The challenge
Most AI-generated content exists in a legal grey zone. Copyright offices worldwide are still defining rules around AI outputs - but one principle is emerging clearly: human authorship matters. Pure AI outputs with no human creative input typically can't be copyrighted. But AI-assisted works - where humans make meaningful creative decisions - can be protected in many jurisdictions.
Copyright protection requires demonstrable human creative input—creative direction, selection and curation, post-generation editing, compositional choices.
Bria's approach
Human manipulation logging captures every edit, refinement, and selection as evidence of creative input to demonstrate human authorship.
Content built on properly licensed training data has cleaner provenance than content from scraped models—reducing downstream legal complexity.
Bria's approach
Every model trained on 100% licensed content. No scraped data. No uncertain provenance. Your outputs start from a clean legal foundation.
The ability to demonstrate the creative process—what decisions were made, what edits were applied—strengthens copyright claims.
Bria's approach
The Visual Birth Certificate provides detailed records of how content was created—supporting copyright registration where human authorship thresholds are met.
The report captures all work created through Bria integrations - Photoshop, Figma, Nuke, Houdini, ComfyUI, API, SDK - aggregated into a single document.
*Copyrightability report is currently in alpha
For enterprise customers, Bria provides copyrightability reports designed to support copyright submissions. These reports document:
Original prompts and outputs
Post-generation modifications and refinements
Curation and approval workflow
Licensed data sources and attribution
Keep records of prompts, iterations, and decisions
Post-generation manipulation demonstrates human input
Choosing from multiple outputs shows creative judgment
Enable manipulation tracking for evidentiary support
Copyright law is jurisdiction-specific and evolving

If you're creating content at scale, copyrightability determines whether you're building assets or giving away work product.
Licensed and monetized
Defended against infringement
Valued as intellectual property
Used as competitive advantage
Unprotected content can be copied by anyone, including competitors.
