+      as of the date such litigation is filed.

+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# OpenTelemetry Express Instrumentation for Node.js
+[![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url]
+[![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url]
+[![devDependencies][devDependencies-image]][devDependencies-url]
+[![Apache License][license-image]][license-image]
+
+This module provides automatic instrumentation for [`express`](https://github.com/expressjs/express).
+
+For automatic instrumentation see the
+[@opentelemetry/node](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/master/packages/opentelemetry-node) package.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install --save @opentelemetry/plugin-express
+```
+### Supported Versions
+ - `^4.0.0`
+
+## Usage
+
+OpenTelemetry Express Instrumentation allows the user to automatically collect trace data and export them to their backend of choice, to give observability to distributed systems.
+
+To load a specific plugin (express in this case), specify it in the Node Tracer's configuration.
+```js
+const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
+
+const provider = new NodeTracerProvider({
+  plugins: {
+    express: {
+      enabled: true,
+      // You may use a package name or absolute path to the file.
+      path: '@opentelemetry/plugin-express',
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+To load all the [supported plugins](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js#plugins), use below approach. Each plugin is only loaded when the module that it patches is loaded; in other words, there is no computational overhead for listing plugins for unused modules.
+```js
+const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/node');
+
+const provider = new NodeTracerProvider();
+```
+
+### Express Plugin Options
+
+Express plugin has few options available to choose from. You can set the following:
+
+| Options | Type | Description |
+| ------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `ignoreLayers` | `IgnoreMatcher[]` | Express plugin will not trace all layers that match. |
+| `ignoreLayersType`| `ExpressLayerType[]` | Express plugin will ignore the layers that match based on their type. |
+
+For reference, here are the three different layer type:
+  - `router` is the name of `express.Router()`
+  - `middleware`
+  - `request_handler` is the name for anything thats not a router or a middleware.
