The document summary field allows users to search across all of the various summary fields generated in the synopsis of an agreement. This covers, grant section, parties, industry, agreement type, term, and royalties.
The benefit of this filter is every document in the database has been reviewed and assigned related language keywords by a human to better match documents in a search inquiry. Please note, not all words entered as a keyword will present themselves in the synopsis.
If the intention is to search an exact match of a keyword or phrase, please see Full-Text.
The filter allows to enter up to fifty (50) words in one search line. If the limit is reached, add additional words on their own search line. A separate line will be needed, however, when changing operators.
Search Within Summary Fields:
All summary fields (Default) – Search across all of the various summary fields generated in the synopsis of an agreement. This covers the grant section, parties, industry, agreement type, term, and royalties.
Royalty Bases – Select to search modifier language to specifically perform a keyword search through the royalty bases provided in the synopses of the agreement. Best when search is for researching tiered, varying, levels, units sold, etc. through royalty bases.
Synopsis – Search for keywords within the granted section of the synopsis so you can exclusively search through the analyst derived summary of what is be granted in that particular agreement. Beneficial when you have an agreement with overused keywords such as: termination agreements, end user agreements, etc.
Term – Allows keyword search on the specific terms present with the agreements such as length of contract and other conditions that may impact the length or termination of an agreement.
Search Tips:
Single Word Search - Example: PAINT
-“PAINT” = will match exact word only, as a standalone (PAINT with no letters before or after it)
Multi-word Search - Example: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
-This works as an AND in Boolean logic
-For this example, ktMINE will search for any agreements with WIRELESS as a standalone or within a word and then will
do the same for TRANSMITTER.
-The results will show the intersection of agreements that contain both WIRELESS and TRANSMITTER in same data field.
Wildcard - Example: trade*
-ktMINE looks for any field that starts with TRADE and anything else from there (e.g., TRADEMARK, TRADEMARKS,
TRADENAME, TRADENAMES, etc.)
Wildcard - Example: *mark
-ktMINE will look for any field that begins with MARK and anything else from there (e.g., TRADEMARK,
SERVICEMARK, etc.)
Agreement Base - Example
Search with Royalty sub-section checked off. This is how the agreement specifically refers to the base within the text.
