Filter to Narrow Results
The user has the option to filter the results summary further, based on Exclusivity, Agreement Type, Industries, Territory, and
Associated Keywords. All narrowing filters open with a pre populated list of options based on the resulting set.
What is an Associated Keyword?
ktMINE analysts review every agreement in detail and assign keywords that serve as identifiers or buzz words that can
accurately describe the intangibles/services/industries that are being licensed/provided/exploited in each agreement. The
keywords are tied to important pieces of information related to the products/services which are being licensed, not just
general terms. ktMINE keywords are related to the licensed intangible as well as the products that the intangibles relate to.
Can I search for Associated Keywords using the Open Search field?
Yes. For instance, if you are looking for any agreements associated with products related to BLOOD, you can enter the term in our open search field. ktMINE will look across our entire database of associated keywords for agreements matching the word BLOOD. The matched results will be presented as a step on our search summary just like any other filter. The extra value here is that ktMINE analysts have also assigned many other relevant terms to the matched agreements. These are automatically populated into the Associated Keyword filter and in the Narrow Filters section of the Results Summary, and you can narrow your results further based on these.
