Chain of title for training data

Chain of title is the documented trail proving who owned a piece of material and what rights passed at each step — from creator to licensor to you.

Why it matters to a buyer

Deals rarely fall apart over quality; they fall apart because nobody can prove where the material came from. Clean chain of title is what closes a licensing deal with a lab’s legal team.

Why it matters to a data owner

An owner who can show clear title commands better terms and more buyers.

Current legal status

Chain of title is a contractual/evidentiary concept; its weight has grown as training-data litigation has made provenance a live question. [Re-check.]
