In 2009 and 2010, we paid out a bonus to hundreds of Researchers in addition to the $2,179,000 we have paid out in rewards to date. The bonus is in line with our profit-sharing plan that seeks to reward our active Researchers for their participation on our site.

Hundreds of Researchers representing more than 20 countries have received compensation for winning our Studies, in addition to the hundreds who received a share of the bonus announced in 2009 and 2010. Meet some of the Winners here.

Our Researchers span over 150 countries, and our Studies are translated into nine languages. Article One Studies reach millions of scientists and technologists through our affiliates.

Article One clients come from a variety of industries, ranging from telecommunications, to biomedical and pharmaceutical, to premier international law firms.  Clients who have used AOP include:

• 15 of the Fortune 100
• 28 of the Fortune Global 500
• 10 of the Top 20 companies involved in mobile technology patent wars
• 20 of the Top 30 companies most pursued by NPEs
• 7 of the Top 10 US Patent filing companies

Much of our work involves high stakes litigation, where after repeated attempts by our clients to invalidate patents using traditional prior art search methods, we find very high quality prior art almost 60% of the time, often enabling more favorable settlement terms or successful reexamination of the patent.
