Data Source

Source:

1. Publicly Filed Licensing Agreements
ktMINE’s system scrapes publicly available documents—such as licensing contracts filed with patent or financial regulatory bodies—to source full-text license agreements. They aggregate over 137,000 full-text agreements, including both public and private entities, universities, and government agencies.

2.. Proprietary Technology with Human Oversight
Their platform uses unique technology to harvest and structure this data, but it also relies on an analyst team to review, extract summaries, and tag key variables (like exclusivity, territories, and royalty terms).Each agreement is analyst-reviewed, with extracted data linked back to the original source and flagged with metadata like agreement type, industry, parties, and payment structure.

3. Royalty Rate Observations
The Royalty Rates App contains ~25,000 full-text agreements containing disclosed royalty terms, which yields over 60,000 observations (e.g., multiple royalty rates per contract). Across all their royalty data, they track 86,000+ royalty rates from 26,000+ agreements in various industries.

4. 4. Global Coverage
ktMINE includes international filings: around 75% of their licensing agreements cover regions outside the United States.
They handle 50+ transaction types and 250+ licensing territories, ensuring diverse global and sectoral representation.

5. Structured Analytics & Common Data Mapping
In their Analysis Center, ktMINE organizes data into standardized categories (“common bases” like net sales, gross profit, etc.) and computes statistical summaries (min, quartiles, average, etc.) across the dataset. Analysts map different royalty base terms (e.g., “net sales”, “net revenue”) into consistent categories to enable uniform benchmarking.
