Intellogist Scoop July 2010

From Intellogist

Hello Intellogist Community Members,

There have been several exciting new developments on Intellogist since our last Scoop - check out this issue for the latest news.

Exciting Business Developments

LexisNexis

First of all we want to give a hearty welcome to our newest sponsor, TotalPatent by LexisNexis. Sponsors such as LexisNexis not only promote themselves by being featured on the premier prior art search information resource, Intellogist, but also help keep this site free to all of you out there as well! For information on how you can advertise on Intellogist, see our advertising page. Rest assured, content on Intellogist will remain objective and free of influence.

Article One Partners

Another highlight for us is our new venture with Article One Partners. As Intellogist users know, patent validity is of utmost importance. Organizations spend significant amounts of time and money researching patent validity. Yet, traditional prior art searches are not likely to reach global non-digitized prior art and often do not yield the desired results. Check out the following from Article One Partners to see how you can register to start earning cold hard cash rewards by locating hard-to-find prior art:

Article One Partners (AOP) has revolutionized prior art search through the world’s largest patent research community. AOP's members, known as Advisors, are rewarded for uncovering the highest quality prior art for patents relevant to their interests, knowledge, and expertise.

Article One posts Patent Studies, which are requests for prior art or publicly available documents in any language from anywhere in the world that describe particular technologies as of a specific date. AOP's Advisors submit prior art after conducting their own research of both patent and non-patent literature in the languages they speak.

Article One distributes rewards based on the collection of prior art received at the end of each Study. To date, AOP has paid out $575,000 to the AOP community for successful searches in 17 of their Studies.

Gain valuable research experience, and use your interest, knowledge, and research skills to earn from $5,000 to $50,000 per Patent Study. Earn points for profit-sharing for being an active member of Article One Partners. Register as an Advisor using the referral code "Intellogist" and begin working on these and other Studies:

Speech Recognition Patents ($5,000 reward)
Image Neurography and Diffusion Anisotrophy Imaging ($5,000 reward)
Air and Fuel Supply System for Combustion Engine ($5,000 reward)
Systems for Chilling Inlet Air for Gas Turbines ($5,000 reward)
Apparatus and Method for Database Queries ($10,000 reward)
Communications Protocol ($10,000 reward)
Script-Based Data Communication System and Method ($10,000 reward)
