Stretching a deeper arm into the music segment would be a natural move for TikTok – even more than just tinkering with games, for example. Some of the app’s best-known content includes choreography, the famous “TikTok dances”. Many users follow this content not only to see their favorite creators dance, but also to discover new music of the moment.
It’s quite possible that ByteDance would like to find a way to integrate an already popular content creation practice with permitted and of course monetized music distribution.
As always, it is worth remembering that patent registration is not a future certainty of content or products. There are many records that do not become something final for users or customers. So the way is to wait for an official statement from TikTok.
