Search Center
The Royalty Rate Finder Search Center is the default home screen for all Royalty Rate Finder searches. Every search will begin
here.
I. Search Filters
A. Full Text
Full Text allows a user to search for the specified keywords within the full text of each license agreement.
B. Document Summary Fields

Document Summary Fields allows a user to search for the specified keywords within the license agreement summaries
and associated keywords created by ktMINE analysts.
Below are a few tips for a successful search using Full Text and Document Summary Fields.
Basic full-word searching

Example: PAINT
▲ “PAINT” = will match exact word only, as a standalone (PAINT with no letters before or after it)
Basic multi-word searching

Example: PAINT BRUSH
▲ This works as an AND in Boolean logic
▲ For this example, ktMINE will search for any agreements with PAINT as a standalone or within a word and then will
do the same for BRUSH.
▲ The results will show the intersection of agreements that contain both PAINT and BRUSH in same data field or the
full agreement text.
Wildcard, any character match searching

Example: trade*
▲ ktMINE looks for any field that starts with PAINT and anything else from there (e.g., TRADEMARK, TRADEMARKS,
TRADENAME, TRADENAMES, etc.)
Example: *mark
▲ ktMINE will look for any field that begins with PAINT and anything else from there (e.g., TRADEMARK,
SERVICEMARK, etc.)
C. Licensor
The Licensor filter allows the user to search for license agreements with a specific licensor(s). To begin, start typing a
company name into the text box. A list of all available companies will automatically populate. To add a company(ies),
check the box next to the name. To remove a company(ies), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all desired
companies are selected, click Apply.
How are licensors identified?

▲ ktMINE analysts review each agreement to ensure that the licensor(s) are properly identified.

TM
User Guide ®
Special attention is focused on these key sections in each agreement: recitals, definitions, grant of license and
royalty rates. If the relationship of agreement parties is unclear, then each participant is listed under licensor (and
licensee) to ensure that none is overlooked during an agreement search.
How do I capture all agreements associated with a company name that has several variations?
▲ There are two ways to ensure this. If you are in the Licensor search filter, look for and select all variations of the
company name (e.g., Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Licensing Inc, etc.). This will give you all the agreements
where at least one of the Microsoft entities you selected is listed as the Licensor.
▲ Alternatively, you can type Microsoft* in ktMINE’s open search field. ktMINE will find agreements containing any
variation of the word Microsoft.
▲ The additional value here is that the matched results will also find agreements where Microsoft is listed as the
filing company and/or licensee in addition to ones where they are documented as the licensor.

D. Licensee
The Licensee filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specific licensee(s). To begin, start typing a
company name into the text box. A list of all available companies will automatically populate. To add a company(ies),
check the box next to the name. To remove a company(ies), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all desired
companies are selected, click Apply.
How are licensees identified?

▲ ktMINE analysts review each agreement to ensure that the licensee(s) are properly identified.
Special attention is focused on these key sections in each agreement: recitals, definitions, grant of license and
royalty rates. If the relationship of agreement parties is unclear, then each participant is listed under licensee (and
licensor) to ensure that none is overlooked during an agreement search.
How do I capture all agreements for a company that has several name variations?
▲ There are two ways to ensure this. If you are in the Licensee search filter, look for and select all variations of the
company name (e.g., Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Licensing Inc, etc.). This will give you all the agreements
where at least one of the Microsoft entities you selected is listed as the Licensee.
▲ Alternatively, you can type Microsoft* in ktMINE’s open search field. ktMINE will find agreements containing any
variation the word Microsoft.
▲ The additional value here is that the matched results will also find agreements where Microsoft is listed as the
filing company and/or licensor in addition to ones where they are documented as the licensee.
E. Filing Company
The FIling Company filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specific filing company(ies). To begin,
start typing a company name into the text box. A list of all available companies will automatically populate. To add a
company(ies), check the box next to the name. To remove a company(ies), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all
desired companies are selected, click Apply.

TM
User Guide ®
How are filing companies identified?

▲ Filing companies are the companies that file an agreement, as well as other required filings, with the SEC and
SEDAR.
How can I find all agreements associated with a filing company?

▲ Since the parent company most often is the filing company for any agreement, use either of the two methods
below to find agreements filed by the parent. The bonus with searching for a filing parent is that this search will
also find agreements the parent filed for related parties, some of which may have completely different names. This
is a great way to get a more comprehensive view of the integrated IP portfolio tied to a particular organization.
ktMINE recommends either of these two options to conduct your search:
▲ Look for and select all variations of a company name in the Filing Company search filter (e.g., Microsoft
Corporation, Microsoft Licensing Inc., etc.).
▲ Use the Open Search field and type in “Microsoft” to find all agreements containing any variation of the word
Microsoft.
▲ EXAMPLE: A Large Food Manufacturer (LFM) had agreements under four variations of the parent name. LFM
also had filed agreements for five related parties that did not use the parent name at all. Using either method
above, your search would give you all agreements associated with any of the nine unique companies that had
been filed by the parent.
F. Effective Date
The Effective Date filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specific effective date. The effective date
is the date that the terms within the license agreement become material. To use the filter, click on Effective Date and
choose the month, day and year. To search for agreements with effective date greater than or equal to a certain date,
choose only a Start Date. To search for agreements with effective date less than or equal to a certain date, choose only
an End Date. To search agreements with effective date between two dates, choose a Start Date and End Date. Once the
date is set, click Apply.
How does ktMINE capture the Effective Date of an agreement?

▲ ktMINE’s analysts look for the effective date in each agreement text. If the date is not in the body of the
agreement, then we look for a date in the signature blocks. If there is a signing date(s), the latest date is used.
▲ If there is no signing date, we then look for the date when the agreement was written. If no date can be located
after this step, then the effective date is listed as Unknown.
What date does ktMINE assign for agreements without a specific month or day noted in the agreement?
▲ If an agreement contains a year only, ktMINE analysts assign an effective date of January 1. If an agreement
contains a year and a month, but no specific date, then the first day of the month is recorded as the effective date.
Examples:
− Agreement signed in 2001 = Effective date is coded as January 1, 2001
− Agreement signed in May of 1998 = Effective date is coded as May 1, 1998
− Agreement signed June 23, 2003 = Effective date is coded as June 23, 2003

TM
User Guide ®
G. SIC Code
The SIC Code filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specific SIC Code. To begin, start typing a
number or name into the text box. A list of all available SIC codes will automatically populate. To add a code(s), check
the box next to the number. To remove a code(s), uncheck the box next to the number. Once all desired code(s) are
selected, click Apply.
It is suggested that the Industry filter be used instead of the SIC Code filter. See Industry for more information.
How are SIC codes identified?

▲ The filing company that submits an agreement to the SEC assigns their own SIC code based upon their industry.
H. Verbatim Territory
The Verbatim Territory filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specified territory, matching the
spelling from the agreement. To begin, start typing a territory name into the text box. A list of matching territories will
automatically populate. To add a territory(ies), check the box next to the name. To remove a territory(ies), uncheck the
box next to the name. Once all desired territory(ies) are selected, click Apply.
I. Normalized Territory
The Normalized Territory filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specified territory, matching the ISO
names, for which ktMINE analysts have combined different spellings. To begin, start typing a territory name into the text
box. A list of matching territories will automatically populate. To add a territory(ies), check the box next to the name. To
remove a territory(ies), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all desired territory(ies) are selected, click Apply.
How are territories assigned?

▲ The ktMINE analyst team captures the verbatim territory(ies) noted in the agreement. If no specific territory is
noted in the license agreement, then the territory is listed as Unknown.
▲ NOTE: In the few instances that an agreement stated conditions such as Worldwide, except for one specific
territory, the agreement was only assigned as Worldwide in order to streamline your search process.
▲ ktMINE also offers an option to search by ISO standardized country codes from within the territory filter.
How do I ensure that my territory search includes all pertinent agreements?

▲ Your search results will only include matched agreements that contain the specific area(s) you selected in the
agreement territories. Example: if you search for agreements covering Finland, your results will NOT include
agreements that are summed up as Worldwide or European Union. If you want agreements that apply to
Finland only, choose Finland. If you want all agreements that might cover Finland, then chose Finland plus the
other geographical groups that Finland would belong to, such as Worldwide and European Union.
J. Exclusivity
The Exclusivity filter allows a user to search for license agreements with a specified exclusivity. Exclusivity denotes the
rights the licensee holds to exploit the licensed IP within a certain territory(ies). To begin, click on Exclusivity and check
either Exclusive, Non Exclusive, Multi Exclusive, Unknown or a combination. To remove an exclusivity, uncheck the box
next to the name. Once the desired exclusivity(ies) are selected, click Apply.

TM
User Guide ®
How was exclusivity assigned?

▲ ktMINE reviews agreement data to look for the terms exclusive and non-exclusive. If neither appears, then the
agreement is assigned as non-exclusive. If one or more instances of a single value appears, then only that value
is assigned to the agreement. If at least one instance of each value, then the agreement is assigned as multi-
exclusive.
− Exclusive = Company has only right to utilize or exploit the intellectual property or services granted under
the license.
− Non-exclusive = Company has the right to utilize or exploit the intellectual property or services granted
under the license, but other Companies may also share these rights.
How should I setup my search to capture all exclusive agreements?

▲ If you are looking to find agreements that are exclusive, then choose both exclusive and multi-exclusive in setting
up your search conditions. Agreements that are labeled as multi-exclusive contain at least one royalty rate that is
exclusive (as well as at least one royalty rate that is non-exclusive).
K. Agreement Type
The Agreement Type filter allows a user to search for license agreements by specific agreement type. To begin, click
on Agreement Type and check the desired type(s). To remove a type(s), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all
desired type(s) are selected, click Apply.
A complete list of Agreement Types and definitions can be found in Appendix B.
L. Industry
The Industry filter allows a user to search for license agreements by a specific industry(ies). Industries are assigned
to each agreement by ktMINE analysts. To begin, click on Industry and check the desired industry(ies). To remove an
industry(ies), uncheck the box next to the name. Once all desired industry(ies) are selected, click Apply.
A complete list of industries, with definitions can be found in Appendix A.
Does each Industry include the entire supply chain?

▲ Yes. For example, searching under our Oil and Gas industry, your search will find agreements associated with
companies that distribute natural gas, drill for oil, provide oilfield services, international integrated oil firms involved
with every aspect of the oil industry, domestic integrated oil firms, independent exploration and production firms,
and refining and marketing companies.
Why search by Industry vs. SIC?

▲ The filing company assigns their own SIC code (based on their industry) when filing with the SEC. Since the
filing company’s industry may not accurately reflect the true context of the agreement, ktMINE analysts review
each agreement and assign industry classification(s) for any that are relevant to the agreement. Industry is a
separate search filter you may use with or instead of SIC code.

TM
User Guide ®
M. Royalty Rate
The Royalty Rate filter allows a user to search for license agreements with specific royalty rate(s). To begin, click on
Royalty Rate and first choose a level (Any, License, Sublicense or Referral). Next, choose an operator (Equals, Greater
Than, Greater Than or Equal, Less Than, Less Than or Equal, or Between). Once the Operator is chosen, type in the
desired numerical value(s). Next, choose the Value Type. Value Type is the currency/percent of the rate. Lastly, choose
a Base (Gross Sales, Net Sales, Costs, Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Net Profit, Assets, Per Unit or Other). Once all
desired rate criteria is selected, click Apply.
What does Common Base mean?

▲ Each agreement uses its own language to explain compensation. In order to simplify your research process,
ktMINE analysts rolled similar base variables into a common base category. For example, our common base
of NET SALES includes variables such as NET REVENUE, NET SALES PRICE, BUYERS REVENUES, NET
SALES VALUE, and NET SELLING PRICE. This common base also allows ktMINE to provide meaningful
statistical analysis of agreements.
What does each option in the royalty rate filter cover?

▲ Level – Select the level of agreements that best fits your search: License, Sublicense, or Referral.
▲ Base – factors that any compensation related to the agreement is calculated on, including: Gross Sales, Net
Sales, Cost, Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Net Profit, Cash, Assets, Equity, Per Unit.
▲ Operator – Set boundaries for the value(s) you want to find in agreements, such as greater than, between or equal
to.
▲ Value – Free form field that allows you to input a numeric figure that your operator will use to find agreements
▲ Value Type – Define the value type you are searching for as currency or percent.

The user has the option to filter the results summary further, based on Exclusivity, Agreement Type, Industries, Territory, and
Associated Keywords. All narrowing filters open with a pre populated list of options based on the resulting set.
What is an Associated Keyword?

ktMINE analysts review every agreement in detail and assign keywords that serve as identifiers or buzz words that can
accurately describe the intangibles/services/industries that are being licensed/provided/exploited in each agreement. The
keywords are tied to important pieces of information related to the products/services which are being licensed, not just
general terms. ktMINE keywords are related to the licensed intangible as well as the products that the intangibles relate to.
Can I search for Associated Keywords using the Open Search field?
Yes. For instance, if you are looking for any agreements associated with products related to BLOOD, you can enter the term
in our open search field. ktMINE will look across our entire database of associated keywords for agreements matching the
word BLOOD. The matched results will be presented as a step on our search summary just like any other filter. The extra
value here is that ktMINE analysts have also assigned many other relevant terms to the matched agreements. These are

TM
User Guide ®
A. Common Base
Each agreement uses its own language to explain compensation. In order to simplify the users research process,
ktMINE analysts rolled similar base variables into a common base category. For example, our common base of
NET SALES includes variables such as NET REVENUE, NET SALES PRICE, BUYERS REVENUES, NET SALES
VALUE, and NET SELLING PRICE. This common base also allows ktMINE to provide meaningful statistical analysis of
agreements.
Common Bases include Gross Sales, Net Sales, Costs, Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Net Profit, Assets, and Other. To
view the graph for a particular Common Base, click on the text.
B. Observations
Number of Observations is the number of royalty rates present in the entire data set.
C. Minimum
Minimum is the smallest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
D. 1st Quartile
The quartiles are calculated as follows:
We use the median of the data set to divide the ordered data set into two halves. If the median is an actual data point
(as opposed to being the average of the middle two data), we do not include the median in either half. The lower quartile
value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper quartile value is the median of the upper half of the data.
E. Average
Average is the mean of all numbers contained within the Minimum, Mean, or Maximum data set. Average is calculated
by adding all available rates and dividing by the number of quantities.
F. Median
Median is the numerical value separating the high and low halves of a data set. Alternatively, the median is the number
in the middle of the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
G. 3rd Quartile
The quartiles are calculated as follows:
We use the median of the data set to divide the ordered data set into two halves. If the median is an actual data point
(as opposed to being the average of the middle two data), we do not include the median in either half. The lower quartile
value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper quartile value is the median of the upper half of the data.
H. Maximum
Maximum is the largest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
