The Licensor filter allows the user to search for license agreements with a specific licensor(s). This group is who is providing what is being granted in the agreement.

To begin, start typing a company name into the text box. A list of all available companies will automatically populate. To add a company, check the box next to the name. To remove a company, uncheck the box next to the name. Once all desired
companies are selected, click Apply.

How are licensors identified?
-ktMINE analysts review each agreement to ensure that the licensor(s) are properly identified.

-Special attention is focused on these key sections in each agreement: recitals, definitions, grant of license and
royalty rates. If the relationship of agreement parties is unclear, then each participant is listed under licensor (and
licensee) to ensure that none is overlooked during an agreement search.

How do I capture all agreements associated with a company name that has several variations?
-There are two ways to ensure this. Within the Licensor search filter, look for and select all variations of the
company name (e.g., Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Licensing Inc, etc.). This will show all the agreements
where at least one of the Microsoft entities you selected is listed as the Licensor.

-Alternatively, by typing Microsoft* in ktMINE’s open search field, ktMINE will find agreements containing any
variation of the word Microsoft.

-The additional value here is that the matched results will also find agreements where Microsoft is listed as the
filing company and/or licensee in addition to ones where they are documented as the licensor.
