$2,500 Awarded for IP Edge sub, Golden IP, prior art

Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winner, Akash Verma, who received a cash prize of $2,500 for his prior art submission for U.S. Patent 9,397,627. The patent was recently assigned from Dedicated Licensing, LLC, an NPE and IP Edge subsidiary, to Golden IP LLC, also an NPE and IP Edge subsidiary. The '627 patent generally relates to a network-enabled audio device that provides a display device that allows the user to select playlists of music much like a jukebox. The patent has been asserted against Rhapsody, Vimeo, iHeartMedia, SoundCloud, Sound Hound, and Genius Media Group.

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. Visit PATROLL today to learn more about how to participate.
