Researchers Earn Company Profits

How can I become eligible for Profit Sharing?

Each year, Article One rewards the Community further through our Profit-Sharing Program.   The overall amount is based on a percentage of Rewards paid in that calendar year, which will be announced at the beginning of each year.  Researchers earn profit-sharing based on the points they accumulate and level they achieve. 

Only Researchers who are Principal and above will receive profit-sharing.  Based on their current level, Researchers will receive a specific number of shares of the total profit-sharing pool.  The size of a share is determined by the number of Fellows, Masters, and Principals who will partake of the profit-sharing pool.

For in-depth details, please refer to the Compensation Agreement and the Researcher Points page.

Earn points for your Peer-to-Patent Contributions:

While Article One Partners specializes in the quality of issued patents, Peer-To-Patent is focused on the quality of patent applications at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Article One Partners supports the valuable work of Peer-to-Patent by offering profit sharing points for contributions to the Peer-to-Patent platform.

Notify Article One when your prior art submissions to Peer-To-Patent are forwarded to the Patent Office. You will be awarded points for prior art presented to the USPTO as one of the top six submissions.

“Article One is a great starting place for budding patent attorneys to sharpen their skills and earn some extra cash.”
