RightMark is a revolutionary copyright verification system that uses vector embeddings and cosine similarity in high-dimensional space to objectively measure originality and copyright infringement. It transforms subjective legal disputes into quantifiable metrics, providing creators, educators, legal professionals, and consumers with a transparent, data-driven approach to copyright.
"If you can measure it objectively, you can manage it fairly."
RightMark creates a "bubble of originality" around every creative work. By measuring the distance between works in vector space, it provides:
| Segment | Addressable Market | Pain Point | RightMark Solution | |---------|-------------------|------------|-------------------| | Education | $8B plagiarism detection market | Subjective originality assessment | Objective novelty scoring | | Legal/Courts | $300B copyright litigation | Expensive, subjective disputes | Expert system with quantifiable metrics | | Creative Industries | $2.3T (music, film, gaming, publishing) | Fear of infringement stifles innovation | Clear boundaries encourage creativity | | Content Platforms | $200B+ (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) | Copyright claims/DMCA overload | Automated verification at scale | | Consumer Protection | 500M+ social media users | Deep fakes, impersonation, content theft | Personal content monitoring |
Total Addressable Market: $50B+ across all segments
How It Works:
Medium-Specific Processing:
text-embedding-3-large, Anthropic embeddings, or specialized literary modelsRightMark supports variable similarity thresholds for different use cases:
| Use Case | Threshold (Similarity Score) | Description | |----------|------------------------------|-------------| | Strict Copyright | > 85% different | Commercial works, full protection | | Fair Use | > 60% different | Educational, commentary, parody | | Public Domain | > 40% different | Open cultural heritage | | Creative Commons | Custom (creator-set) | Per license terms (NC, SA, etc.) | | Derivative Works | 50-75% different | Licensed adaptations | | Academic | > 70% different | Student assignments, research papers |

Bike4Mind already has the entire technology stack needed to build RightMark:
| RightMark Need | Bike4Mind Has | |----------------|---------------| | Vector embeddings | ✅ RAG system with text embeddings | | Similarity search | ✅ Semantic search across documents | | File storage | ✅ S3-based FabFiles system | | Database | ✅ MongoDB for metadata | | API framework | ✅ Next.js API routes + services pattern | | User management | ✅ Auth, organizations, permissions | | Credit/token system | ✅ Already monetizing AI operations | | WebSocket | ✅ Real-time updates | | Queue system | ✅ SQS for async processing | | LLM backends | ✅ Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock integrations |
This is a PERFECT product-market fit for the existing infrastructure!
Following Bike4Mind's service pattern, add new modules:
