TIPO Launches Upgraded Music Information Query System with 750,000 Entries

The Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) released an upgraded "Music Information Integration Query System" featuring over 750,000 entries. It connects ISRC and Taiwan pop music databases to help businesses easily identify collective management organizations for licensing.

WISECODE Take

TIPO launched an upgraded music query system on August 10, 2026, which many business owners mistakenly think is only relevant to the media industry. Integrating ISRC data with over 750,000 entries, the system is already used by 84 TV and radio stations. It solves the pain point of identifying collective management organizations and licensing contacts when businesses use background music. If your business does not involve public broadcasting, ad production, or video distribution, this update does not affect you. Otherwise, this tool reduces infringement risks, and IP Dictionary's copyright compliance consulting can help establish internal guidelines. We suggest two actions: First, search song titles before using music in marketing videos to identify the correct collective management organization. Second, for large-scale video projects, register an account to batch-upload playlists for automated matching to save time. Ensuring music licensing compliance requires clarifying dual licensing for both sound recordings and musical works, and this system is the starting point for risk prevention.
