LegacyNext · EU-Compliant SaaS

Every right,
its own certificate.

LegacyNext is the software with which rights holders issue ownership certificates themselves: fast, secure, transparent, compliant and peer to peer.

The questions we answer Seven applications

What we solve

Eight questions every rights owner
is expected to answer.

Each of these is answered today by searching contracts, email and spreadsheets, and by asking the person who happened to be there. Under each one is what LegacyNext puts in place instead.

Who was entitled to license this?The mandate sits in the record, dated and signed, so authority is never reconstructed from memory.
Which works were inside that deal?A signed, hashed list ships with every licence and cannot be changed afterwards without it showing.
What did the 1998 contract actually permit?The grant is read once and then held as data, per title, per language and per territory.
Who is owed what, and on what basis?Splits are attached to the right before revenue arrives, so allocation follows the record.
Can you still prove it in 2031?Every version is written to a blockchain with a timestamp, readable by both sides of the deal.
Whose version of the record is the right one?There is one record. Every party reads it, and no one can alter it unnoticed.
What is outstanding today?Obligations and allocations are live, so the answer is a lookup instead of a reconstruction.
What happens when the person who knew leaves?The knowledge sits in the file rather than in one colleague's head and inbox.

The Platform

One record,
read by everyone involved.

Every right gets its own record: one file holding the agreement, the documents behind it, and the history of every change.

All parties read that same record, and no one can alter it unnoticed. Years later it still shows what was agreed, who was entitled to agree it, and how the money was divided.

Issuing stays with the rights holder. LegacyNext supplies the software and the proof layer underneath it.

Applications

One infrastructure.
Seven applications.

Each application has its own page, its own buyer and its own stated limits. Six of them prove rights. The seventh issues them.

01 · AI Training Rights

Prove what was licensed

A signed, hashed manifest of exactly which works sit inside a training licence, with consent recorded per use type and allocation that follows the record.

02 · Publishing Rights

Know what you licensed

Work-level rights above the edition, with grant and reversion status, contributors by ISNI and settlement that reaches authors, translators and estates.

03 · Music Rights Operations

Splits that hold up

A rights pool registered with its contracts attached, allocation defined before revenue arrives, and one record that the label, the writer and an auditor all read.

Open the page →
04 · Release Passport

A verified record per release

ISRC, UPC, master rights, versions, contracts and waterfall on one canonical release record, feeding the systems labels, distributors and CBOs already run.

Open the page →
05 · Sports Rights

Settled at the trigger

Contingent obligations written into the agreement, verified against official competition data, and settled to every party from the same execution.

Open the page →
06 · Brand Passport

From registration to exploitation

The operational layer after the trademark register: licences, product authorisation, batches, royalty reporting and proof of use in one file.

07 · The second line

Ownership Certificates /
Fractional Rights.

The six applications above prove what a rights holder already has. This one lets him issue it.

A publisher offering a catalogue fractionally, a club distributing transfer rights, an estate splitting income among heirs, a brand owner selling a share in licensing income. Each of them today builds a bespoke legal structure, waits months, and ends up with an administration the buyer cannot verify.

With LegacyNext the rights holder defines the asset, defines the shares, issues the certificates as unique tokens and lets them move directly between parties, while the income follows the certificates automatically.

Technology & Compliance

What sits underneath.

Hosted software. No infrastructure to install and no blockchain expertise required on your side.

01 One token per right. Unique, non-fungible, and carrying the whole file: the agreement, its annexes, approvals, batches and evidence, instead of a certificate that points at documents stored elsewhere.
02 Only the rights holder can issue. Each token is bound to the identifiers of the thing it describes, so a second registration of the same asset is refused at source and a competing claim runs through a documented procedure.
03 Written to a blockchain. Every change is hashed and written to a blockchain with an eIDAS timestamp, so a counterparty can verify the record without trusting our systems or yours.
04 Terms that execute themselves. Smart contracts release a payment or apply a split the moment a verified condition is met, against the same record everybody reads.
05 Compliance built in. KYC, AML and counter-terrorist-financing checks, with access rights per counterparty so each party sees what it is entitled to see and nothing else.
06 The limits, stated plainly. The record registers and proves. A deed, a notarial act or an official register keeps its own role wherever the law requires one, and being exact about that is what carries the rest through a legal review.

Next step

One conversation about
one set of rights.

A first deployment is deliberately small and predictable: one defined set of rights, the documentation attached, the issuing mandate established, and one flow of money allocated against the record.

The conversation starts with how that administration runs today and where the friction sits. If there is a basis to continue, we agree the next step together.
