On November 22, 2019, Unified added a new PATROLL contest with a $1,200 cash prize for prior art submissions for US 9,167,329. The '329 patent, generally directed to a magnetic earphones holder, is owned by Snik LLC (an NPE) and has been asserted in district court. To protect innovation and deter future frivolous assertions, Unified is offering a $1,200 cash prize for the best prior art on this patent.

The contest will expire on February 22, 2020. Please visit PATROLL for more information or to submit an entry for this contest.
