AI doesn't copy your work.
It learns to become you.
TrustMark is the record that proves you were you first.
Copyright protects what you made. Trademark protects your name.
TrustMark protects how you exist.
Three layers of protection. Only one is proactive.
Copyright and trademark are reactive legal tools. TrustMark is the infrastructure layer that establishes the record before AI ever touches an identity.
The Four Dimensions of Identity
Hollywood has always known these exist.
AI has made them urgent to register. TrustMark defines the vocabulary.
Personality Construct
Behavioral signature — cadence, mannerism, the way someone is
Talent, agents, studios
Performance Signature
Expressive pattern — how emotion moves through the body
Talent, guilds, VFX
Character Construct
Fictional identity — exists beyond its creator, beyond any single film
Studios, IP owners, writers
Motion Identity
Pixel-level movement fingerprint — the way a body moves through space
VFX, motion capture, games
The movement is the identity — not the character wearing it.
Three frames. Same motion. Watch what happens when you strip the character away and let the movement speak for itself.
The Performance
Full character. Full render. The movement is unmistakable — a signature in motion.
The Registration
Strip the character. The movement remains. The identity has been abstracted — only the motion survives.
The Fingerprint
Every joint. Every arc. Every pixel. Registered. Motion converted into a machine-readable identity record.

How DIAP Protects IP
Six layers of protection — from authorization to watermarking to revocation. Shared infrastructure that every stakeholder can verify.
Every render is authorized
Cryptographically signed license tokens — scoped to a specific project, rights, territory, and duration. No valid token, no render. A token for Film A cannot be reused for Film B.
Every output is watermarked
Dual-layer invisible watermarks — pixel-level and ultrasonic audio — survive compression, re-encoding, and social media upload. If your content appears on an unauthorized platform, the watermark proves it.
Every use is logged
Per-frame render receipts create an unbroken provenance chain. Studios, talent, and guilds all see the same truth — what was authorized, what was rendered, and when.
Visibility is controlled
Two layers of authorization. Layer 1: whether your identity is even visible to AI systems. Layer 2: per-project usage. Both revocable at any time by talent, agents, or guild reps.
Revocation is instant
When authorization changes — a talent revokes, a token expires, terms are violated — every certified AI pipeline is notified immediately. Valid licenses are always honored. Emergency revocation targets unauthorized use only.
Scripts are protected too
ScriptModule extends the same authorization model to written works. Four independent rights — read, derivative, export, and training — each require separate authorization. TRAINING_USE defaults to no.
Why Now
Regulatory, legal, and industry pressure is converging.
ByteDance generated Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt from public data.
February 2026Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros., Netflix, and Sony all sent cease-and-desist letters within days. No technical mechanism existed to prevent it.
Guild contracts mandate machine-readable authorization.
2026 bargaining cycleDGA-AMPTP negotiations are underway. SAG-AFTRA and WGA contracts already require it. The industry has zero shared infrastructure to deliver it.
EU AI Act requires AI content to be machine-readably labeled.
Effective 2025–2026€35M penalties for non-compliance. The regulation is live — the infrastructure to comply doesn't exist yet.
4 US states already protect digital likeness by law.
Active legislationTennessee ELVIS Act, California AB 2655 & AB 1836, Illinois BIPA. Federal preemption is coming.
Who It's For
Shared infrastructure for every stakeholder in the AI identity pipeline.
