Royalty Rates

• Chart
• The Royalty Rates chart provides a visual representation of the royalty rate information tied to the search. The graph can be updated by common base by choosing an option from the drop down. The chart will automatically update.
• 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. Clicking on a Common Base will open a list of agreements, with the option to view each agreement’s profile.
• Min
• Minimum is the smallest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
• 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.
• 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.
• Avg
• Avg 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.
• 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.
• Max
• Max is the largest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
