You grant and assign to Juristat, a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, fully paid, fully sub-licensable, worldwide license to copy, perform, display, distribute, prepare derivative works from (including, without limitation, incorporating into other works), and otherwise use, any Published Application Content that you input and store, for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, advertising, commercial, promotional, and publicity purposes) in any media formats and through any media channels, including through programmatic interfaces such as APIs and a Model Context Protocol (MCP), in Juristat's discretion without notice, approval, attribution, or consideration to you or to any other person or entity. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant and assign the foregoing license, that neither the permission nor consent of any other person or entity is required to enable Juristat to legally use the Published Application Content in accordance with this license, that all Published Application Content provided to Juristat by you or anyone else using your account complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and that Juristat's use of the Published Application Content in accordance with this license will not violate or infringe upon the rights of any person or entity.

 

MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL (MCP) ACCESS

Juristat makes certain data available through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (the “MCP Service”), which enables AI assistants and compatible applications to access Juristat’s patent and intellectual property analytics, benchmarking, agentic workflows (including the ability to generate reports and other outputs based on user inputs), and related data (collectively, “MCP Data”). Access to the MCP Service is subject to these Terms, including the additional provisions set forth in this section. By downloading, accessing, implementing, enabling access to, or using the MCP Service or any MCP Data, whether directly or through any other means, including but not limited to, AI assistant, MCP client, or other compatible application, you agree to be bound by all provisions of these Terms, including this section. You are responsible for any use of, and reliance upon, MCP Data by you or any persons or entities to whom you provide access, and for ensuring that such use complies with these Terms.

Intellectual Property ; License Grant.

MCP Service. As between Juristat and you, Juristat owns all right, title and interest, in and to, the MCP Service. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Juristat grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the MCP Service solely as made available to you by Juristat and solely for the permitted uses described in this Section. You may access the MCP Service only through authorized interfaces and in accordance with any applicable documentation, usage limits and technical requirements specified herein or otherwise by Juristat. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Juristat.

Use of the MCP Service does not expand any rights you may have to access or use MCP Data made available through other Juristat interfaces or properties, and you may not use the MCP Service to circumvent any restrictions or access controls applicable to such interfaces or properties.

MCP Data. As between Juristat and you, Juristat (and its licensors, as applicable) own(s) all right, title and interest, in and to, the MCP Data. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Juristat grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use MCP Data solely as expressly permitted in this section. For the avoidance of doubt, use of MCP Data in combination with, or as input to, any AI assistant, MCP client, or other automated tool, and any transformation, summarization or modification of MCP Data, does not expand your rights to use such MCP Data. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Juristat.

Authentication.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding access to your connection to the MCP Service (including your account) and for all actions or tasks performed through the MCP Service, including by an AI assistant, MCP client, or other automated tool acting on your behalf, as if you had taken those actions directly through the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of any credentials, API keys, tokens or access mechanisms used to access the MCP Service, and for all activities conducted using them. You must promptly notify Juristat of any unauthorized access to or use of the MCP Service or any compromise of your credentials. We are not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of the Services in relation to the MCP Service through a connection you formed or your account, or any command submitted through the MCP Service. Juristat is not responsible for the conduct or output of any AI assistant, MCP client, or other automated tool you use to access the MCP Service, including any outputs generated using MCP Data. Submissions, messages, content, and other actions initiated through the MCP Service (including those initiated by any AI assistant, MCP client or other automated tool acting on your behalf) are subject to all applicable provisions of these Terms as if initiated directly through the Services.

MCP Data Attribution Requirements.

Any display of MCP Data must prominently attribute Juristat as the source of such data and include a link to the applicable listing on Juristat.com. Attribution must appear in close proximity to the displayed MCP Data and must clearly identify Juristat as the origin of the information. Attribution must not be obscured, minimized, visually de-emphasized, or otherwise presented in a manner that could mislead a user as to the source of the data. Where MCP Data is presented in a voice-enabled or non-visual surface, attribution to Juristat must be audibly disclosed to the end user.

Prohibited MCP Uses.

In addition to the Usage Restrictions set forth elsewhere in these Terms, you may not use the MCP Service or MCP Data:

  • To build, train, improve, or contribute to any product, service, platform, or database that competes with Juristat or that aggregates, analyzes, benchmarks, predicts, indexes, or displays patent prosecution, intellectual property or legal analytics data as a core feature;
  • In or as part of any product or service that does not add substantial independent value or functionality beyond the display of MCP Data;
  • To support any publicly distributed or third-party-facing product or service, except to display MCP Data in connection with a use otherwise expressly permitted under these Terms or expressly authorized by Juristat in writing;
  • As training data, fine-tuning data, reinforcement learning data, evaluation data, or in any other manner to develop or improve any machine learning model, large language model, or artificial intelligence system;
  • To circumvent, disable, or interfere with any rate limits, access controls, authentication mechanisms, human confirmation requirements, or usage monitoring associated with the MCP Service;
  • To scrape, bulk-download, or systematically extract MCP Data beyond what is necessary to fulfill a specific end-user request;
  • In connection with MCP clients, AI assistants, LLMs, third-party MCP servers or connectors, or any other service where you know or ought to reasonably know could lead to third-party AI model training, improvement or any other use that is prohibited under these Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this includes usage of free LLM model providers that require model training on inputs or failure to disable model training permissions for AI assistants.
  • To derive synthetic data for any purpose that would otherwise be prohibited if done with the source MCP Data.
  • In violation of applicable laws or regulations, or in any manner that would cause Juristat to violate applicable laws or regulations.

Rate Limits and Fair Use

You agree to comply with any rate limits, call volume restrictions, and usage policies Juristat publishes from time to time in connection with the MCP Service. Juristat may monitor and analyze your use of the MCP Service to ensure compliance with these Terms and any applicable usage policies. Juristat reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to throttle, suspend, or terminate your access to the MCP Service if your usage exceeds reasonable limits, adversely affects the performance of Juristat’s systems, or is inconsistent with the permitted uses described in this section.

No Warranty; MCP Data Accuracy.

MCP Data is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind. Juristat makes no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of MCP Data delivered through the MCP Service. MCP Data may be transformed, summarized or otherwise modified when used with AI assistants, MCP clients or other automated tools, and such outputs may be incomplete or inaccurate. You are solely responsible for reviewing and evaluating any outputs derived from MCP Data before relying on them. All disclaimers set forth in the Disclaimer of Warranties section of these Terms apply equally to MCP Data.

Termination of MCP Access.

Juristat may modify, suspend or discontinue the MCP Service (in whole or in part), including any features, functionality or MCP Data made available through it, at any time, with or without notice, and without any obligations to ensure continued compatibility with earlier versions of the MCP Service. Juristat may suspend or terminate your access to the MCP Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including for violation of these Terms or for any activity that Juristat, in its sole discretion, determines to be harmful to Juristat, its users, or the integrity of its data. Termination of MCP access does not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to termination or of any obligations under these Terms that by their nature continue to apply with respect to MCP Data received before termination.
