We have had eleven Studies for which the community has uncovered premier prior art that can show the patents to be invalid. We are honored and delighted to work with the AOP community and congratulate the winning Advisors in these instances. We also want to recognize the tremendous contributions of the community as a whole for contributing validity evidence. Profit sharing points are awarded for several levels of relevance in addition to the invalidating art. We invite the Advisors to share their experiences in working on the AOP Studies.
