Patrick Arkeveld
CEO of Rightsline
With our recent acquisitions and groundbreaking roadmaps, there’s a lot of buzz around Rightsline right now. We’re sparking exciting conversations across the industry, and many are curious about the big moves we’re making—acquiring FilmTrack and RSG Media, launching new technology initiatives, and what it all means for the future of IP commerce. This year has been transformative for us, and I wanted to take a moment to explore these questions, share what excites me most, and offer a glimpse into my vision for Rightsline.
Why Are We Making These Big Changes?
It’s no secret that we’re making bold strides, but our vision is about more than just growth and expanding our reach. Today’s IP landscape requires a platform that’s agile and insightful enough to meet the challenges it’s designed to solve. Simply put, we are committed to staying at the forefront of IP commerce, which means investing heavily in innovation and bringing together the most talented resources and proven technologies in the market.Ultimately, our mission is to meet—and exceed—the demands of a dynamic global industry by building a scalable, adaptable, data-driven foundation based on the best-of-the-best from the last 20 years in IP commerce. And Rightsline is uniquely positioned to do just that.
What Excites Me Most About Where We’re Heading
One of the most exciting aspects of this year has been the wealth of global talent, experience, and perspectives we’ve gained. By joining forces with FilmTrack and RSG Media, Rightsline is now stronger and more versatile than ever. This “better together” approach isn’t just a nice idea; it’s the foundation of our strategy, allowing us to build tools that empower the entire IP lifecycle—from complex licensing and compliance to detailed subledger accounting and beyond.
Equally exciting is our recent launch of our Rightsline Intelligence Center, which we unveiled at our recent NYC customer event. Powered by AI, this initiative provides demonstrable ROI by lowering data ingestion times and enabling natural language-based insights that have the potential to take decision-making to the next level. By finding real-world use cases for cutting edge tech, the Rightsline Intelligence Center reflects our commitment to delivering smarter, faster, and more strategic IP solutions.
Our Rightsline Community: Driving Innovation Together
With over 320 customers globally and counting—Rightsline’s journey is driven by a vibrant network of innovators. This community of customers, partners, and team members brings invaluable expertise and fresh perspectives that continue to shape our platform. Our remarkable customer growth and the wins we’ve celebrated over the past year are testaments to the power of this community and what enables us to create meaningful solutions based on real-world challenges.
It’s this collective excellence, this network of trusted partnerships, that makes Rightsline what it is today and propels us toward what it will become. By working closely with our customers in a transparent way, we’re not only tackling today’s challenges but also paving the way for long-term growth and success across the industry. Every customer we serve, every problem we solve, and every insight we gain strengthens the global Rightsline community. It’s a powerful force, one that inspires us to drive innovation forward and keeps us learning and evolving every day.
Setting the Standard for IP Commerce
As we look to the future, our vision is clear, and our mission is bold: to drive the evolution of IP commerce and set the standard for what a rights, royalties, and financial solutions platform can achieve. By combining our deep expertise with the invaluable input of our customers we’re shaping the future of IP commerce with the best tools, insights, and partnerships for managing IP assets at scale across any industry.
