Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winners, Dinesh Swami and Sukhdeep Singh, who split a cash prize of $2,000 for their prior art submissions on U.S. Patent 9,042,910, owned and asserted by Avant Location Technologies LLC, an NPE and entity of Anjay Venture Partners LLC. The ‘910 patent focuses on a method for monitoring a mobile station within special areas using radio signals to define the area's perimeter. The mobile station discerns these signals, differentiating them as distinctive to the area, and communicates with a mobile network to adjust operating parameters accordingly. The patent has been asserted against Apple, Fibar Group, Nice Group, and Samsung.
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.
