ImageSpan offering LicenseStream platform with PLUS licensing standards

ImageSpan Inc., a software company that offers a content licensing platform for digital media based in Sausalito, CA, has announced that its digital content licensing and royalty settlement service is set-up to implement licensing standards created by the Picture Licensing Universal System (PLUS) Coalition that have recently been adopted by three major publishers.
This follows the recent announcement by representatives of McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Pearson that they will adopt licensing standards created by PLUS in their contracts and encourage image suppliers to begin embedding PLUS license metadata in all images within a year.

“We are very excited that these major publishers have all agreed to support the PLUS standards,” said Iain Scholnick, chief executive officer, ImageSpan. “We view this as a huge validation of our support and participation in the PLUS Coalition, and our market-leading integration of the PLUS standards in ImageSpan products. For three years, we have worked with the PLUS Coalition to ensure that our licensing technology complies with PLUS standards, and simplifies and streamlines licensing processes. A growing number of major customers are adopting the PLUS standards, and we stand ready to meet the needs of these customers and their image suppliers. Our experience and expertise with the PLUS standards uniquely positions us as the product-of-choice for image licensing.”
