Now Zone Members can download any PATROLL contest submissions anytime they want

PATROLL is the world’s first crowd-sourced prior art contest forum where Unified Patents puts a monetary bounty on PAE- and NPE-owned patents. We engage the general public to submit prior art to improve overall patent quality. All submissions are reviewed by Unified's legal team to identify winning prior art, and we provide the invalidity claim chart to the world on the PATROLL portal.

Over the last decade, PATROLL has evolved into a massive platform with hundreds of contests and nearly 5,000 submissions, establishing itself as the world’s largest repository of crowdsourced prior art. 

Previously, Zone Members would have to wait for results since Unified would review and identify a winner before an invalidity chart was published. Now, Zone Members can view and download unfiltered user submissions at any time before Unified declares a winner. This provides our Zone Members with the capability to view thousands of submissions as they arrive rather than wait till we publish the results.

To view unfiltered user submissions, simply log in to PATROLL and select ‘Download All Submissions’ from any contest. This allows Zone Members to use the crowd faster and to independently create their own charts.
