On February 28, 2020, Unified Patents added a new PATROLL contest with a $2,000 cash prize for prior art submissions for US 8,490,123. The '123 patent generally relates to an invention that can "generate a user profile and recommendations on the basis of the user’s previously created playlists and properties derived from them." The patent is owned by SISVEL SPA, a well-known NPE, and has been asserted in district court litigation against Rhapsody and Spotify. To protect innovation and deter future frivolous assertions, Unified is offering a $2,000 cash prize for the best prior art on this patent.

The contest will expire on March 31, 2020. Please visit PATROLL for more information or to submit an entry for this contest.
