Wolters Kluwer’s ktMINE Intellectual Property Solution is an IP data aggregation, search, reporting, and analytics platform focused on IP transactions and comparable deal terms—notably license agreements and royalty rates—along with connected datasets such as patents, assignments, trademarks, litigation, and M&A deal context. Wolters Kluwer positions the product as intended to reduce time spent locating dispersed public-source IP data and to support decision-making for IP strategy development, valuation, licensing, and negotiation.
Key capabilities documented by Wolters Kluwer and ktMINE support materials include:
- Unified search across multiple IP-related datasets (agreements, royalties, patents, assignments, news, litigation) with alerts.
- Connected datasets linking agreements/royalty observations to other IP artifacts.
- A set of apps (e.g., Search App, Royalty Rates App, Benchmark App) with filters, exports, and analytics views.
Vendor positioning claim to scrutinize: Wolters Kluwer describes ktMINE as a comprehensive repository of IP data and states it is updated regularly from many publicly available sources. These claims are difficult to independently validate without third-party audits or a transparent coverage methodology.
