FilmTrack

What FilmTrack does

Rightsline (operating under the legal/legacy FilmTrack entity, founded 1996) is an enterprise software company providing a unified platform for intellectual property commerce — specifically rights management and royalties management — to media conglomerates, entertainment studios, gaming publishers, music platforms, publishing houses, consumer brands, high-tech firms, and life sciences companies. The platform functions as a central repository for IP assets and contract data, automates the calculation and processing of inbound and outbound royalties across thousands of exceptions, and aggregates financial processes including contract status, revenue achieved, and royalties paid or collected. Named customers include Microsoft, Sony, Amazon MGM, Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal, Fox, Spotify, Hasbro, Activision Blizzard, EA, FIFA, PBS, Reuters, Getty Images, Scholastic, Simon & Schuster, Conde Nast, Gilead, Crunchyroll, eOne, and others.

The platform's core technology comprises three layers: (1) Rights Management, which captures every IP asset owned, managed, licensed, or available for sale and tracks workflows across development, acquisition, distribution, and exploitation; (2) Royalties Management, which uses configurable business rules to calculate complex royalty participations at scale; and (3) Rightsline AI, an AI-powered capability for process automation and predictive analytics across rights queries and royalty calculations. Supporting components include an Avails and Conflict Engine for content availability and conflict detection, an API and integration architecture, Alliant Cloud deployment, Managed Business Services for professional operations, and Rightsline Gameday for evaluation. The platform manages 75M+ IP assets, processes $25B+ in royalties annually, and supports 135M+ relationships across 30+ named enterprise customers.

The business model is enterprise SaaS subscription, sold through a direct field sales motion with consultative demo-based selling ('Request a Demo' CTAs) and quote-based pricing. Revenue is recurring subscription, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The company is privately held, with $500M raised from Hg in May 2026 to fund AI innovation and global expansion, following approximately $45.5M of prior venture funding (Insight Ventures lead across 2013, 2014, 2017) and a 2016 acquisition of RoyaltyZone. Leadership is founder-led: Jason Kassin serves as CEO and Stephen Kassin as President, with Thomas Coleman as CTO and additional VPs across operations and consumer products. The company operates from five offices — Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Toronto, and London.

Direct peers

• Vistex: Vistex is a direct competitor offering rights, royalty, and incentive management software for media, entertainment, and consumer products companies. It is the most head-to-head peer in enterprise IP commerce, addressing the same complex rights and royalty calculations.
• Anaqua: Anaqua provides IP management and analytics software for patent and trademark portfolio management. It is a direct peer in the IP management software category, particularly for the legal and patent-driven side of IP commerce.
• Music Reports Inc: Music Reports Inc provides music rights administration, royalty processing, and licensing services to platforms and rights holders. It is a direct peer for FilmTrack/Rightsline's music vertical, handling similar royalty calculation and licensing workflows.
• Songtrust: Songtrust is a music publishing administration platform that collects royalties for songwriters and publishers globally. It is a direct peer in music rights and royalty management, sharing Spotify, publishers, and similar music industry customers.

Broad incumbents

• Clarivate (CPA Global): Clarivate (which acquired CPA Global) is a broad incumbent in IP services and software, including IP portfolio management and analytics. Comparable because it serves similar enterprise IP customers with overlapping rights management functionality, though as part of a much wider portfolio.
• SAP (Vistex): SAP, through its acquisition of Vistex, offers royalty and rights management capabilities integrated into its ERP suite. It is a broad incumbent that bundles comparable functionality into a much larger enterprise software portfolio, posing bundled competition.
• Oracle: Oracle provides ERP and contract management capabilities that overlap with rights and royalty workflows for large enterprises. It is a broad incumbent that could address similar needs within its installed base, particularly in media and high tech.
• Microsoft: Microsoft is both a customer (for internal IP management) and a potential broad incumbent through Dynamics 365 and Azure IP-related services. Comparable as a large platform player with adjacent IP and contract management capabilities.

Emerging players

• Lecorpio: Lecorpio offers IP management software with focus on patent and trademark management for corporate IP departments. It is an emerging player with partial overlap in the broader IP management software market, competing for similar enterprise customers.
• IPfolio (CPA Global): IPfolio is a cloud-based IP management platform for patent and trademark portfolio management. It is an emerging player with partial overlap, serving similar enterprise IP management customers though with narrower scope than FilmTrack/Rightsline.
