Pewter

Established US businesses

AI developers may pay license fees for records your firm holds.

AI labs license de-identified versions of the email, files and operating records already held by firms. Pewter assesses your records, obtains a written offer from our licensing partner and manages the deal until payment. Before licensing anything, you and your counsel review the terms.
