- Competitors
- No direct competitors. Article One has no competitors in using crowdsourcing to uncover prior art. Traditional prior art search companies are the closest competitors. Article One Partners is comparable to companies that provide services to reduce patent litigation, e.g., to RPX (a portfolio company of Kleiner Perkins and Charles River Ventures) and AST (a consortium of Fortune 1000 high-technology companies). AOP complements the work of these companies but does not compete with them.
- Product Description
- Article One uses open innovation or crowdsourcing to research patent validity. Article Ones research is offered to clients to assist in resolving patent litigation, the approval of generic drugs, and due diligence for acquisition or licensing. AOP offers clients annual subscriptions to sponsor patent studies (validity and state of the art), receive real-time access to validity evidence, and communicate with AOPs scientific community (reaching three million) to optimize their research.
- Market Opportunity
- Patent validity research is fundamental and critical to companies across industry sectors. The U.S. addressable market for required validity research by the Fortune 2000 is $1.025 billion (derived from the number of validity research projects annually, about 102,500, with an average cost per search of $10,000)
- DEMO Says
- Article One isn't a technology for your teenage sibling or grandmother. It won't help you access Twitter or aggregate your online profiles. What it will do is enable virtually every one of those technologies to become reality. At its simplest, the site is crowdsourcing for patents, an easy-to-use platform on which patent studies are validated by an experienced advisor community.Focusing on the identification of "Prior Art," the body of publicly available information that can potentially invalidate a patent, Article One has the potential to streamline the incredibly cumbersome process of obtaining a U.S. patent. Your grandmother may not care. But we guarantee your angel investor will.
