Interested Parties Information

{{Short description|Unique identifying number assigned to each Interested Party in collective rights management}}

IPI (Interested party information) is a unique identifying number assigned by the CISAC database to each Interested Party in collective rights management. It is used worldwide by more than 120 countries and three million right holders.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cisac.org/What-We-Do/Information-Services/IPI |title=Confédération Internationale des Sociétés d´Auteurs et Compositeurs - IPI |access-date=2016-11-16 |archive-date=2016-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161116101901/http://www.cisac.org/What-We-Do/Information-Services/IPI |url-status=dead }}

Two types of IPI-numbers exist, an IPI Name Number and IPI Base Number.{{Cite web|url=https://cwr-dataapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/ipi_number.html|title=IPI Number – CWR-API 0.0.8 documentation}}

IPI Name Number

The IP Name Number is the code for a name or pseudonym related to an entity (natural person or a legal entity). One entity can have several names. Prince for example has the IPI-codes

00045620792 (Nelson Prince Rogers), 00052210040 (Prince) and 00334284961 (Nelson Prince R).

The IPI Name Number is composed of eleven numeric digits.http://www.bic.org.uk/files/pdfs/namenumbers.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120508145502/http://www.bic.org.uk/files/pdfs/namenumbers.pdf |date=2012-05-08 }} {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}

IPI Base Number

The IPI Base Number is the code for a natural person or a legal entity. It has the pattern H-NNNNNNNNN-C.

H: header (a single letter)
N: identification number (nine numeric digits)
C: check digit (a single number)

For example Pablo Picasso has the IP Base Number I-001068130-6.

History

In October 2001, the IPI database replaced the CAE numbers.[http://www.cisac.org/web%5Ccontent.nsf/Popup?ReadForm&Page=Article&Lang=EN&Alias=ACT-CIS-POP-02] {{dead link|date=January 2015}}

Relation with ISWC-numbers

IPI codes are connected with International Standard Musical Work Codes (ISWC). For example, one of the songs called Ernie, which has an International Standard Musical Work Code number of {{ISWC|T-010.171.314-7}}, has just one interested party, that of Benny Hill whose IPI number is 00014107338. This IPI number can then be used to find all other works by him.

In relation to ISWC each party has at least one role.
