Google is expanding its Content Offer Pilot, paying owners of large, high-quality specialized datasets (e.g., code repositories) for licenses to improve its products. Key points:
- Non-exclusive: partners keep 100% of their IP and can monetize elsewhere
- Fees are negotiated per deal, like a standard licensing negotiation
- Over a year of testing with thousands of partners worldwide; 90%+ would participate again
- Any rights holder of large specialized datasets can express interest
Googler DynamicWebPaige amplified the call, emphasizing data is the most important thing.
