PATROLL

Crowdsourced Prior Art Reinvented --- PATROLL is the world’s first crowd-sourced prior art contest forum where Unified Patents puts a monetary bounty on patents owned by Patent Assertion Entities (PAE) and Non-Practicing Entities (NPE). We engage the general public to submit prior art to improve overall patent quality. All submissions are reviewed by Unified's legal team to identify winning prior art, and we provide the invalidity claim chart to the world on the PATROLL portal. Over the last decade, PATROLL has evolved into a massive platform with hundreds of contests and nearly 7,000 submissions, establishing itself as the world’s largest repository of crowdsourced prior art.
