Review Your Registered Titles
Screenrights continually collects secondary royalties from Australia and New Zealand. To ensure you receive the royalties that you are entitled to collect, it’s a good idea to regularly review your registrations to make sure they are up to date. You can either do this via MyScreenrights or by contacting Member Services.
Best Time To Register
We recommend registering your claims as soon as practicable after the film, TV show, documentary or other screen project is released, or after you have received an assignment of rights or have been appointed to collect on another party’s behalf.
Screenrights royalties expire at the conclusion of the Distribution Period, so it is important to register your claims in time to receive royalty payments.
Please see more information about our Distribution Period here.
