ktMINE FAQs

Q: Who created ktMINE?

A: ktMINE was envisioned and developed by a team of valuation and transfer pricing professionals who had spent many long hours hunting for the right market comparables. They were all looking for a way to get better, faster results and joined together to create a solution that finally answered this need.

Q: Where does ktMINE get its data?

A: Through a proprietary process, ktMINE gathers IP license agreements and documents from publicly available sources, such as the SEC. Our mission is to find, analyze and add into our database any public document with viable royalty rate information. And to make the search for these documents as fast and accurate as possible.

Q: How much data does ktMINE include?

A: We have amassed a large repository of documents of which we have analyzed over 12,000 IP license agreements currently. Our database contains the non-redacted analyzed agreements and is expanding by a minimum of 200 agreements each month.

Q: What does a ktMINE analysis include?

A: Over 30+ checkpoints that identify and capture key licensing terms for each agreement, such as effective date, industry and rights being granted. Two of the most important checkpoints are to ensure that our documents contain actual royalty rate data and to assign associated keywords that reflect the true context of each agreement.

• Full access to ktMINE data and agreement text, along with unlimited searches
• Specialized filters like Associated Keywords and Royalty Rate (5 searchable levels of detail)
