The latest enhancements to FiveSprockets help us meet the needs of a wider group of media creators

These are the first in a series of upgrades planned to enable producers of all skill levels, from professional and aspiring filmmakers to video enthusiasts to advertising agencies, to collaborate with others to develop, produce, and promote their work.

We chose to partner with ProtectRite because they are the pioneer of online intellectual-property registration. Their established history and industry-leading vaulting process was a perfect for FiveSprockets

“The latest enhancements to FiveSprockets help us meet the needs of a wider group of media creators,” said Randy Ullrich, founder, president and CEO of FiveSprockets. “These are the first in a series of upgrades planned to enable producers of all skill levels, from professional and aspiring filmmakers to video enthusiasts to advertising agencies, to collaborate with others to develop, produce, and promote their work.”

The new script formats include television sitcom/drama, stage play, radio play and comic book. Profile enhancements include rich project pages where users can showcase their work. The company’s partnership with ProtectRite enables FiveSprockets users to access the ProtectRite service directly from vScripter, FiveSprockets online story development and scriptwriting software.

“We chose to partner with ProtectRite because they are the pioneer of online intellectual-property registration. Their established history and industry-leading vaulting process was a perfect for FiveSprockets,” said Ullrich.
