RTR Distribution has issued a formal cease and desist letter to UnitedMasters over the use of the term ‘Real-Time Royalties’ on their website.

RTR Distribution, a platform for real-time royalty payments for content creators, has issued a formal cease and desist letter to UnitedMasters. This legal kerfuffle is over the unauthorized use of the term “Real-Time Royalties” on their website. RTR Distribution holds a pending patent for real-time royalty payment technology and has exclusive rights to the technology in the blockchain-based entertainment monetization space.

The cease and desist letter demands that UnitedMasters immediately remove the term “Real-Time Royalties” from their marketing, promotional materials, and any online references. Those references directly infringes upon RTR Distribution’s intellectual property. The company has given UnitedMasters a 14-day deadline to comply with the request.

“We have developed and have a pending patent on the technology that powers real-time payments for creators,” said Joshua D. Combs, Founder and CEO of RTR Distribution.

“Our platform enables artists, musicians, and content creators to receive instant payouts for their work, and we take great pride in the innovation we’ve brought to the industry. The use of the term ‘real-time royalties’ by UnitedMasters is not only misleading but also an infringement on the intellectual property we’ve worked tirelessly to build. If they do not comply, we will take the necessary legal steps to protect our pending patent and our business.”

The ability to provide real-time royalty payments has become increasingly important in the music and content creation industries. As the entertainment sector moves toward blockchain integration, RTR Distribution is hoping to lead the charge in ensuring that creators receive instant payouts for every stream, view, or download of their content. The patent-pending technology behind RTR Distribution’s platform ensures fair compensation for artists, producers, and content creators worldwide, without the traditional delays of legacy payment systems.

RTR Distribution is a platform built on blockchain technology that provides real-time royalty payments to content creators in the music, film, podcast, and digital media sectors. By using RLT tokens and smart contracts, RTR Distribution ensures that creators are paid immediately every time their content is consumed. RTR Distribution is working to revolutionize the way content creators are compensated, providing fairer, faster, and transparent payment solutions.

UnitedMasters is a digital music distribution company that allows independent artists to distribute their music across various streaming platforms. They offer a variety of tools to help artists manage and monetize their content independently.

Should UnitedMasters fail to comply with the cease and desist request, RTR Distribution is prepared to pursue legal action to protect its intellectual property rights. The company is committed to defending the technology that powers real-time payments and ensuring that creators receive the compensation they deserve, without compromise.
