Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winners, Ekta Aswal and Vibhor Dimri, who split a cash prize of $2,000 for their prior art submissions on U.S. Patent 7,035,461, owned by Monument Peak Ventures, an NPE and Dominion Harbor entity. The ‘461 relates generally to the field of digital image processing and, more particularly, to a method for detecting an object in a digital image. The patent had been asserted against Alarm.com, TomTom International, and Bosch Security Systems.
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.
