Industry

The Industry filter allows for the search of license agreements by a specific or multiple industries. ktMINE analysts have reviewed each document in the database and assigned an industry tag to provide a more accurately categorized search by classifying the relevant industry to the agreement. 

We suggest using the Industry filter over the SIC code as the filing company's agreement may not accurately reflect the true context of the agreement as to which the company's core business pertains to.

Example Search: Oil and Gas industry 

Agreements associated with this tag:
-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.
