Blockchain think-tank illustrates how the KODAKOne platform is providing real solutions for the image economy
Los Angeles, Aug. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICOx Innovations Inc. (“ICOx”) (TSXV and OTCQB: ICOX), which designs, builds and manages digital currencies so organizations can grow their businesses by attracting, engaging and retaining customers through the creation of their own digital currency, announced today that the Blockchain Research Institute (“BRI”) has released its case study on RYDE Holding’s KODAKOne Image Rights Platform. RYDE Holding Inc. is the creator and operator of the KODAKOne Image Rights Management Platform.
The case study, “Changing the Still Image Marketplace on the Blockchain”, is currently available to BRI members and, in December 2019, via Creative Commons.
The BRI is a Toronto-based think-tank that helps organizations to realize the new promise of the digital economy by researching the strategic implications of blockchain technology and producing practical insights that will guide its members in achieving success.
The case study, which was released in June, 2019, dives into the numerous solutions the KODAKOne platform provides to the photography market, including its unique use case for blockchain technology as well as the planned use of the KODAKCoin, its own digital currency.
“This case study explores in detail the way blockchain can be used to help content creators actually profit from their creative work with the new Internet of value. It details how KODAKOne’s platform works, its key features, and how it enables photographers to maximize the value of their intellectual property. We’re pleased that BRI members will be able to benefit from these detailed, practical insights and case studies,” said Don Tapscott, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, BRI.
All BRI research is proprietary to its member organizations for a period of six months. Members have agreed that, after this period, the BRI may make this research available to the public under a Creative Commons International 4.0 license (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
The BRI’s research explores the strategic implications, applications, and challenges of blockchain in business, government, and society. It covers roughly a dozen different industry verticals and examines the impact of blockchain on corporate management, from human resources and marketing to finance and operations.
“We were extremely honoured that the BRI picked KODAKOne to focus their case study on the “Still Image Marketplace on the Blockchain. I have the utmost respect for the work that both Don and Alex Tapscott and their team have been doing within BRI and their exploration of blockchain technology and its strategic implications for business, government and society.” said Jan Denecke, CEO of RYDE Holding.
“The release of this case study is very significant as it places KODAKOne as a leader in the image economy - a market that is projected to grow to $4.5 billion by 2021.” said Bruce Elliott, President, ICOx Innovations. “KODAKOne Post-Licensing Platform (PLP) is producing daily revenues for their clients and is well on its way to be part of this industry growth.”
