Find Prior Art, Get A Reward

Article One Partners, a global research community, provides compensation to "advisors" for submitting prior art evidence for selected patents (list of the selected patents).
Those selected patents may already be at the center of a litigation or a dispute.

According to their website it is possible to get up to 50k$. Moreover, active "advisors" may further share about 5% of their net annual profit depending on their involvement in the project.

According to their website (link), the two revenue streams are:
  1. The selling of the prior art collections directly to parties interested in the subject patent(s).
  2. The executing of "market trades based on the expert analysis and opinions drawn from our Advisors' research".
