About SoundPatrol

Sound is the universal substrate of most media. As content becomes generative, every asset moves through continuous transformations.

We make those transformations visible, verifiable, and enforceable, turning media into a programmable system of ownership. In music, an artist's entire catalog can be cloned, remixed, and monetized without their knowledge. In real-time sports, detection and attribution must happen in seconds. In film, streaming, and games, content is recomposed across formats and platforms. In publishing, synthetic voices can replicate entire catalogs in dozens of languages overnight. What began as music forensics is becoming the control layer for all generative media. SoundPatrol originated at Stanford University, built by a constellation of leading AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity researchers, including Walter De Brouwer, Percy Liang, Chris Re, and Dan Boneh. With Michael Ovitz as Co-Founder, SoundPatrol gained direct access to the global entertainment industry, accelerating its deployment across music, sports, streaming, and beyond.

OUR FOUNDERS

Michael Ovitz

Co-Founder / Chairman

“This is a huge victory for all artists in the creative universe. One of the premier issues affecting artists has always been the protection of their intellectual property rights. SoundPatrol has answered the long-standing problem of IP theft by creating a frontier lab with neural fingerprinting capabilities that can identify all pipelines of directly transmitted content, whether on its own or intermixed, in real time. This is the first-of-its-kind technology implemented to protect all copyright holders and creators of any type of intellectual property.”

Walter De Brouwer

CEO / Co-Founder

“Generative AI is transforming music in extraordinary ways, but if we abandon copyright, we risk severing artists from ownership of their own work. It is compulsory to proactively feed deep embeddings of these neural signatures into streaming infrastructures so that owners can maintain control, authenticity, and monetization of their intellectual property in the generative AI era. Eliminating copyright to accelerate AI is like changing the speed of light to advance physics - it misunderstands the fundamental laws that sustain creativity.”
