Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winners, Vibhor Dimri and Sukhdeep Singh, who split a cash prize of $2,000 for their prior art submissions for U.S. Patent 6,876,979. This patent is owned by AML IP, LLC, an NPE and subsidiary of Dynamic IP Deals, LLC. The '979 patent generally relates to a system and method for supporting electronic commerce in an environment in which multiple service providers each have associated vendors where a user may maintain an account at a service provider that is different from the service provider associated with the vendor from which a user makes an on-line purchase. AML IP is currently asserting the patent against several companies such as Blizzard Entertainment, Kongregate, Coinbase, Rebilly, Payment Approved Technologies, AffiniPay, and others.
We would also like to thank the dozens of other high-quality submissions that were made on this patent.
