富乐律师事务所(Foley & Lardner LLP)代表人工智能初创企业SoundPatrol完成了其音乐技术与人工智能反盗版研究实验室的组建及融资事宜。
SoundPatrol is a research lab co-founded by Stanford University School of Medicine CERC Adjunct professor Walter De Brouwer, Ph.D., and Michael Ovitz. The lab works on large music models, novel formats for neural, embedded music, and neural fingerprinting. Where audio hashes excel at fast lookups of known recordings, neural embeddings capture semantic relationships — identifying covers, remixes, and generative-AI derivatives — while continuously learning from new releases. Neural fingerprinting moves beyond fixed perceptual hashes to a dynamic, context-aware model that adapts to evolving infringement tactics and distinguishes human from machine creations.
The company also recently signed Universal Music Group and Sony Music as partners.
The Foley team was led by partners Louis Lehot and André Thiollier and included partner Nicholas O’Keefe and associates Wesley Choi and Rachel Horewitz.
