$2,000 awarded for Dominion Harbor entity, Monument Peak Ventures, camera patent prior art

Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winner, Ekta Aswal, was awarded $2,000 for her prior art submission on U.S. Patent 7,860,320, owned by Monument Peak Ventures, an NPE and Dominion Harbor entity. The patent generally relates to a camera with a power supply, has a voltage detecting circuit adapted to detect a voltage level at the power source, and generates a voltage level signal. A controller receives the voltage level signal and prevents the image capture system from working when the voltage level signal indicates that there is insufficient power available.

We would also like to thank the dozens of other high-quality submissions that were made on this patent. The ongoing contests are open to anyone, and include tens of thousands of dollars in rewards available for helping the industry to challenge NPE patents of questionable validity by finding and submitting prior art in the contests.
