Heard of Article One Partners?

Follow me on:

You should be aware of them. They are in the business of helping people find prior art. Article One Partners uses the power of the global online community to research evidence that relates to the claims of novelty of selected patents. A patent, in essence, tells the story of a technology as of a certain date. Its validity is analyzed based in part on whether the same story is told in earlier publications. You can request a study be done by the AOP community for such publications that relate to select patents. These publications, known formally as prior art, are publicly available and may be in any language from anywhere in the world. Article One Partners offers compensation to researchers from 176 countries to help find prior art, and that reduces the risk of infringement assertions by competitors, and improves your patent quality.

I didn’t realize that the community was large enough to reach that many countries. I’ve seen this a lot on other blogs, and it seems to be taking off. Their website has an interesting quote from a guy at Microsoft praising the system, that’s a pretty big deal!

Just checked out their website and saw they have rewarded over $1 Million Dollars already. Pretty crazy that people are receiving these large rewards simply for finding documents.

Great to see a type of crowdsourcing that is benefiting the public good. Paying out tons of money to people in this economy is great too. Doesn’t look too hard to get started…

It’s interesting how the research can be all types of publications too. Not just online articles, but books in libraries and even video clips.

The only issue I see with this (from a researchers perspective) is that you could do a bunch of search work , spin your wheels and make nothing if yours is not the data selected. It is almost like a competition and gives this company and their clients a chance to get a lot of good info for next to nothing.
