The company processes more than $40 billion in royalties annually and manages over 150 million IP assets across 28 countries. “The IP landscape has become increasingly complex, with more platforms, territories, and contractual complexity than ever,” said Patrick Arkeveld, CEO of Rightsline. Hg said the investment will support Rightsline’s AI roadmap, including tools for automated contract ingestion and natural-language rights analysis, while helping expand the company’s presence across new verticals and global markets.
