DMLawLogo-CLEARANCE

Because we are a law firm, our reports are always reviewed by an attorney.

That allows us to offer unprecedented value, and attorney package options that you won’t find at other clearance report companies.

We provide this all with industry-leading service, prices and response times.

We provide full script reports for scripted content, including:

  • Streaming/TV Series
  • Film
  • Digital Content

We provide options for script clearance, whether for fully fictional characters and settings, or for based-on-true-story dramatizations, biopics, and docudramas

Whatever your script clearance needs, we can help.

We provide one-off and in-script name reports for all types of potential name clearance types, including:

  • Character names
  • Business names
  • Products and services

Our reports include research background and notes, so whether you use our attorney services to problem-solve any clearance issues, or use separate counsel, you are equipped to act.  

Traditional script clearance provides non-attorney reports and information.  Dark Matter Clearance Reports provide additional benefits beyond those services, including:

  • Free attorney review of every report before it’s sent to you.  We ensure that your report’s research and advice meets our high standards.
  • Optional attorney advising services to give real legal risk assessments and identify solutions to thorny clearance issues.
  • Efficient, high-value pricing and support. Thanks to our decades of work providing content legal advice, we can save time and money focusing on what’s important.
  • Industry experience.  We give all clients the highest levels of support, but we understand that major international studios and small production houses and studios may have different priorities and needs.  We have experience tailoring services to the full spectrum of clients and goals.
