A character voice may involve an existing recording, a commissioned performance or an AI-related process. Identify which material and activity the project actually uses.
WIPO's AI-and-IP discussion distinguishes questions about creative outputs, underlying inputs and related technologies. WIPO — AI and IP Policy FAQ.
Map the inputs
For a proposed speaking character or promotional recording, identify the source recording and any transformation. Do not assume that permission to receive a file establishes permission to clone, synthesise or repurpose a voice.
Review the real arrangement
Use appropriate current rights and consent review for the actual jurisdiction and workflow. Keep creative approval separate from permission for the proposed use. No voice, person or technology provider is represented here as available to a PLUSHIP project.
