PATROLL: 2022 Update

Unified’s PATROLL, the only Crowd Sourced Prior Art platform, currently has 65 active contests with over $130,000 in cash prize payouts. In addition, 22 contests are in the final review process and winners will be announced soon. With 1,454 total submissions, PATROLL has seen tremendous success in deterring low quality patents. 

The increase in submissions has led to more successful contest winners. Since 2020, 50 submissions have been announced as the winner, versus only 16 in 2018 and 2019 combined. In that same time frame, nearly $100,000 in prizes have been awarded versus only $37,000 in 2018 and 2019. 

Awarded Winners
$130,975 66

Beginning in 2020, Unified partnered with several third-party prior art research firms - Amplified, APEX STANDARDS, Techson IP, Traindex, IPscreener, Ambercite, and InQuartik. These partnerships led to more submissions being made by outside prior art researchers and scientists. With more submissions, more money was awarded and we continued the fight against the low-quality patents.

As seen below, the Average Submissions Per Contest Per Year increased by nearly 12% from 9.3 submissions in 2020 to now 10.5 in 2022. 

Unified received a record-high of 425 total submissions for 2021. 

With 22 contests being finalized and 65 in progress, the total payout for 2022 is expected to be nearly $200,000 with over 500 submissions projected. To view all active contests, please visit PATROLL.
