A Marketplace
for Music Licenses


What is NPREX®?

The National Performing Rights Exchange, NPREX®, is an electronic marketplace for direct licensing of music performance rights, among others. Not a Performing Rights Organization, NPREX® is a patented software platform through which music publishers and record labels sell licenses directly to music users. Like any well-designed marketplace, NPREX matches buyers and sellers, automates the generation of
well-designed market prices, internalizes externalities and minimizes transactions costs.

For more on how the NPREX® works, see our FAQs.

The Centerpiece of NPREX®
A Pricing Algorithm

The NPREX® Pricing Algorithm uses mathematical economics to automate the generation of market prices by programmatically mapping certain easily agreed upon licensing terms to the price of a music license.
