HiveLicense.
Price the license before the demand letter does.
We benchmark royalty rates using 15 methods that courts have already accepted. We pull comps from SEC EX-10 filings, ETSI/IEEE SEP declarations, and USPTO assignment records. Then we summarize it and sign it.

Inside the firm. Comp deck, royalty range, fallback ladder.
Watermarked 'INTERNAL: NOT FOR CLIENT DISTRIBUTION'. Not delivered to clients. Not used in pleadings.
Agent identity and DID
Every HiveLicense mint makes a unique decentralized identifier, signed by your bar credentials. Any operator revenue share requires a separate agreement; it is not automatically created by a receipt.
Six sub-agents and the signed result
HiveLicense isn't a chatbot. It's a group of specialized sub-agents that each sign their own output, and all those signed pieces get folded into the final receipt. You can replay any step.
Valuation methods, reference rates, and receipt
Every HiveLicense royalty range points back to a method a federal court actually accepted. We pull the comps from public license filings (SEC EX-10), SEP declarations (ETSI, IEEE LOA, 3GPP), and court damages orders. You don't need ktMINE to hit a score of 85.
Run outputs
- A royalty-rate range checked against 6 methods, with confidence bands
- A table of comparable licenses from SEC EX-10 exhibits and the USPTO Assignment "consideration" field
- A cross-check of SEP declarations (ETSI, IEEE LOA, 3GPP) when the patent is standards-essential
- A table of court damages anchors (15 named cases, with full PACER citations)
- A term-sheet draft with the reasoning behind every clause written out
- A fallback ladder: 5 walk-away points tied to your best alternative
- A signed license-valuation receipt (ML-DSA-65) signed off-chain and verifiable offline; any chain anchor must be separately selected and specified
Models, valuation methods, and receipt format
License negotiations run on a comp deck the licensor controls, and the licensee usually doesn't have their own. That makes the negotiation lopsided from the start. On top of that, ktMINE and RoyaltySource subscriptions cost $25K to $80K a year, per seat.
Here's how HiveLicense is different. Four models working together pull the comp deck from public SEC EX-10 filings, ETSI/IEEE SEP declarations, USPTO Assignment "consideration" fields, and CourtListener RECAP damages orders. Every comp gets scored against your asset across 8 different measures. The royalty range you get is the median of three court-accepted methods, with confidence bands attached. You walk into the room with real numbers, not just opinions.
Mint a receipt for any HiveLicense output.
Paste a HiveLicense output below. The pipeline hashes it, captures the compute attestation, and signs the receipt off-chain with ML-DSA-65 for offline verification. Any chain anchor must be separately selected and specified.
