Your First USCO Claim
Create a structured evidence record for your AI-assisted creative work in under 10 minutes. No legal background required.
Before You Start
Create your account
Navigate to RightsDocket and sign up. Your account lets you preview the full claim workflow, document contributors, and purchase a pack when you're ready to export.
Your account is created in seconds with no credit card required. You can preview the full USCO claim workflow, but export requires a pack.
Start a new project
From your dashboard, select “New Project.” Name it after the creative work you want to document. Each project produces one provenance record tied to one creative work.
Click New Project → enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Meridian EP — Track 3”) → select the work type (audio, visual, text, or mixed media).
Name projects by the final work title, not the file name. This label carries forward into your USCO claim language and provenance record.
Upload your creative work
Upload the file you want to document. RightsDocket analyzes all standard audio formats. Every format receives a PDF provenance record and verification link. C2PA embedded signing is rolling out — see status below.
| Format | Analysis | Evidence package | C2PA Signing |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3 | ✓ | ✓ | Coming soon |
| WAV | ✓ | ✓ | Coming soon |
| M4A | ✓ | ✓ | Coming soon |
| FLAC | ✓ | ✓ | Coming soon |
| OGG | ✓ | ✓ | Coming soon |
All audio formats produce the same provenance record in Phase 1. When C2PA embedded signing ships, MP3, WAV, and M4A will receive manifests directly in the file binary.
Map human vs. AI contributions
This is the core of your claim. For each element of your work, specify whether it was created by a human, generated by AI, or AI-assisted with human modification. RightsDocket maps your answers to the USCO taxonomy and IPTC Digital Source Type vocabulary automatically.
For each contribution area (lyrics, melody, arrangement, production, etc.), select the authorship level: Human-authored, AI-assisted with human modification, or AI-generated. Add contributor names for all human-authored elements.
The platform produces eCO-ready limitation-of-claim language that separates registrable human authorship from excluded AI-generated material — structured to the standard the Copyright Office expects.
Be precise about modifications. The USCO recognizes human modifications of AI output as potentially registrable if they meet the Feist originality standard. “I prompted the AI” alone does not establish authorship. Describe what you changed, arranged, or composed.
Review your claim language
Before export, review the generated claim language. This is the text that would accompany a USCO filing. Verify that every contributor is listed, every AI-generated element is properly excluded, and the limitation-of-claim statement accurately reflects how the work was made.
Contributor names are spelled correctly. AI tools used are identified (e.g., “Suno v3.5,” “Udio v1.5”). Human-authored elements are clearly described. Excluded elements match what was actually AI-generated.
RightsDocket prepares claim documentation. It does not file with the Copyright Office on your behalf and does not guarantee registration outcomes. The final filing is submitted by you or your attorney through the USCO eCO portal.
Export your provenance record
Export generates your full provenance record: a PDF claim preparation report and a shareable verification link. This is your structured evidence record — documented and reviewable.
Click Export → select your output options → download your provenance record. Each export consumes one Rights Receipt or Human Proof Pack.
Pack Pricing (no subscriptions)
A PDF claim preparation report with eCO-ready language and a shareable verification link. RFC 3161 timestamping is now included. C2PA audio signing will be available for supported formats as that feature ships.
Keep the human in the record.
