We have distributed over $500,000 in rewards to date

As well as $25,000 of bonus money to hundreds of Researchers in 2009. We are on a mission to exceed this number in 2010!

As of April 15, 2010 and since our launch in November of 2008:

We have opened 62 Studies.

We have awarded $520,000 in rewards to numerous Researchers for submission of relevant prior art.

The average award per Study that we launched was $37,636.

Awards ranged from $10,000 to $50,000, with the following breakdown for all posted studies:

Monetary Award	Number of Studies
$50,000	32
$35,000	1
$30,000	2
$25,000	7
$20,000	3
$15,000	8
$10,000	2

As mentioned earlier, we would not be where we are today without our amazingly intelligent Researchers: 51.3% of our Researchers have advanced degrees.

The high rate of success for uncovering new prior art for our Studies can also be attributed to the diversity of our Advisors' expertise. Our advisors have expertise in numerous fields, but the top ten industries are:

Industry	Percent of Advisors
Biotechnology	10%
Biology	8%
Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry	7%
Computer Science	6%
Electrical Engineering	4%
Life Science Technologies	4%
Biochemistry	4%
Software Engineering	3%
Mechanical Engineering	3%
