Structured data fields are by definition an abstraction of legal language. When in doubt, use citations, the AI chat, and the actual contract text to validate the structured data against your own interpretation.
Overview
The Signatures extraction identifies all required signatories and tracks their signing status.
Summary Statistics
At the top of the section:
| Stat | Description |
|---|
| Total | Number of required signatures |
| Signed | Count of completed signatures |
| Pending | Count of signatures still needed |
Signatory Details
Each signatory card displays:
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Name | Name of the individual who signed |
| Entity | Organization the signatory represents |
| Status | ”Signed” or “Pending” badge |
| Signed On | Date of signature (if signed) |
| Role | Signatory’s role (e.g., “Assignor”, “Witness”) |
Signing Status
The extraction determines signing status by analyzing:
- Signature images or marks on the document
- Date fields near signature blocks
- “Signed” notations in the text
Visual signatures (handwritten or digital) are detected even without accompanying text.
Duplicates and Signature Priority
When Royaltyport detects that multiple uploads are duplicates of the same agreement (e.g., different scans or versions), it keeps the version with the most completed signatures as the main agreement. Less-signed copies are marked as duplicates and linked to the primary version. This ensures the most complete, fully executed version of the contract is always the one you work with.
