Although the proportion of using other people's works in the creative activities of individual creators is increasing, users are feeling the burden of going through legal procedures such as licensing agreement procedures suitable for the purpose of using the works.Therefore, it is necessary to develop a platform that can reduce the burden of contracts by limiting the conditions and rights of creators and users, and approve and automate requests under conditions desired by creators and users during contracts.In this study, we propose a platform model that can automatically approve a license agreement request for a copyrighted work for a limited purpose defined in advance by the copyright owner.Through this, it is expected to contribute to vitalizing the content market by supporting direct contracts between creators and users and by increasing re-usability of copyrighted works through simple licensing agreements.
