Rezolve Ai Unveils Patent-Backed AI Provenance Platform as Watermarking Becomes Global Infrastructure

* Digital provenance market projected to grow from $4.2 billion in 2026 to $16.9 billion by 2033 as AI marking becomes a legal requirement

* End-to-end, model-agnostic stack enables LLM owners and text, voice, image and video generators to mark, sign and verify AI content, with patent-backed image watermarking embedded within the content itself NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rezolve Ai (NASDAQ: RZLV), a global leader in AI-powered commerce infrastructure, today unveiled Rezolve Provenance, a patent-backed, model-agnostic platform designed to mark, sign and verify AI-generated and AI-modified content across enterprise and commerce workflows. The platform combines signed C2PA Content Credentials, secure provenance records and independent verification with content-embedded watermarking for images, creating a durable trust layer that can operate across different AI models and platforms. * Complete provider stack: Post-generation marking, signed C2PA Content Credentials, content-embedded image watermarking, secure provenance records, detection and verification APIs, SDKs, private-cloud deployment and TraceWare audit. * Built for AI content generators: A model-agnostic infrastructure layer for LLM owners and platforms generating text, voice, images and video, integrated after generation without retraining the underlying model. * Durability beyond metadata: Anthropic says heavy edits can make its text mark undetectable and that file metadata can be stripped. Rezolve's patented image mark is encoded within the visual content, so stripping metadata does not remove it. AI marking becomes a legal requirement Transparency obligations under Article 50 of the EU AI Act became applicable on August 2, 2026. They require in-scope providers of generative AI systems to mark AI-generated or manipulated audio, image, video and text outputs in a machine-readable format and ensure they are detectable as artificially generated or manipulated, subject to specified exceptions and technical-feasibility considerations. A limited transition to December 2, 2026, applies to certain generative AI systems placed on the market before August 2. Non-compliance can expose companies to fines of up to EUR 15 million or 3 percent of worldwide annual turnover. Industry adoption is accelerating alongside regulation. Anthropic announced this week that supported Claude models will embed watermarks in generated text and attach digitally signed C2PA provenance metadata to supported files wherever Claude is offered worldwide. Rezolve Ai believes that commitment by a leading foundation-model company validates both the scale and urgency of the market Rezolve Provenance is designed to address.
