Abstract
A copyright revenue allocation system that identifies copyrighted works after they are copied. Each copying service within the system informs a copyright revenue allocation service of each page or sheet it copies via document signals representing a portion of the copied document. The copyright revenue allocation service uses the document signals to determine whether the document copied is part of a copyrighted work, and, if so, identifies the owners of the intellectual property contained within that document. After identifying the intellectual property owners, the copyright revenue allocation system increments their associated revenue counters. These revenue counters are used to allocate copyright revenues from the copying services among the intellectual property owners entitled to compensation. Identifiers associated with the document signals identify the copying service copying the document, which allows the copyright revenue allocation system to track, record, and bill the fees owed by each copying service.
