Although protocol varies by jurisdiction, the determination of actionable infringement generally requires the identification of substantial similarity between multiple pieces of music.

Clio reveals specific degree of similarity.

Clio provides detailed and unbiased accounting of melodic similarity between two (or more) musical works. Clio identifies unique musical characteristics and can compare motivic models to determine the degree of influence between pieces.

Clio listens like people do.

Because the technology is grounded in human perception and cognition research, Clio is able to determine which musical ideas are cognitively relevant and reveal potential matches, even in cases where traditional side-by-side melodic comparison doesn't yield clear results.

Clio supports expert testimony.

Clio can quickly search databases containing 'prior art' to discover potential melodic matches. This makes Clio an invaluable aid to expert musicologists assisting legal teams and to record labels seeking to reduce the potential of future litigation.
