Timestamp any script the moment you finish it, cryptographic and permanent. Send it out and every copy carries a custody mark, so if a draft surfaces where it shouldn't, you have a valid way to check which issued copy it was.
A screenplay is passed around by email, forwarded from a manager to a producer to a reader you've never met. There's no watermark, no record, no way to say when you wrote it or whose copy went astray. Writers have paid registries for a timestamp for decades, because the moment of authorship is worth proving. Reconize proves it better, and keeps proving it after you hit send.
Drop the finished script into Reconize. It seals a cryptographic hash and an independent RFC 3161 timestamp, so there's a permanent, verifiable record of what you wrote and when. One purchase, no renewals.
Issuing to a producer, a manager, a contest? Reconize can stamp one custody copy per recipient, with a visible page mark and an invisible ID, plus a certificate of when the master was sealed.
If a version surfaces somewhere it shouldn't, drop it into Verify. You get a valid way to check which issued copy it came from, and the date the master was sealed.
Registries give you a dated record and a five-year clock. Reconize gives you that, plus a mark that travels with the file when you share it.
Reconize gives you evidence, not a verdict. A trusted timestamp proves a file existed by a certain date; it doesn't adjudicate authorship on its own. A custody mark tells you which issued copy a leaked draft came from, a valid path for checking custody, not proof of who forwarded it. What you get is strong, independent, dated evidence in an open standard anyone can check, forever.
