Story Protocol enforces IP usage terms and licenses on-chain while integrating the off-chain Programmable IP License (PIL), which enables tokenized IP to be legally recognized, outlining real-world terms for remixing, monetization, and derivative creation

Quotes that support claims

Although on-chain, an IP's usage terms and minted licenses are enforced by an off-chain legal contract called the Programmable IP License (PIL💊), which allows anyone to offramp tokenized IP into the off-chain legal system and outlines real legal terms for how creators can remix, monetize, and create derivatives of their IP. The protocol, or more specifically the IP Assets and modules described above, are what automate and enforce those terms on-chain, creating a mapping between the legal world (PIL) and the blockchain.
