How It Works

  1. Our client posts a Study to request research related to specific patents or technology areas.

  2. Researchers submit relevant technical literature in response to the posted Study.

  3. Submissions are reviewed and assessed based on how well they match the requirements of the Study.

  4. Once the Study is closed, the highest quality submission earns a Reward. Up to ten Researchers may also receive payments as Most Valuable Researchers.
