`
`ABSTRACT
`
`The CONTENT LICENSE ACQUISITION PLATFORM
`APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“CLAP”)
`transform content seed selections and recommendations via
`CLAP components such as discovery and social influence
`into events and discovery of other contents for users and
`revenue for right-holders. The CLAP may identify an unli-
`censed content item and uniquely resolve it within a univer-
`sally resolvable media content
`(“URMC™) service. The
`CLAP mayobtain aggregate URMCservice user engagement
`metric associated with the unignely resolved content item
`during a predefined period oftime and an aggregate URMC
`service user engagement metric associated witha plurality of
`URMC items during the predefined period of time. The
`agpregate URMCservice user engagement metrics may be
`evaluated using at least one URMClicense request threshold
`rule, A target for a license request for the uniquely resolved
`content lem may be identified and the license request maybe
`sentto the identified target.
