About Unified Patents
Unified Patents is a member-based organization dedicated to promoting innovation by protecting against frivolous patent litigation. They actively work to reduce abusive patent assertions from Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs), often called "patent trolls," which cost technology companies billions each year. Unified Patents offers a multi-faceted solution, challenging patents of questionable validity through post-grant procedures like Inter Partes Reviews (IPRs) and leveraging crowdsourcing for prior art submissions. They provide valuable patent and Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) data to help companies make informed licensing and litigation decisions. Since its founding in 2012, Unified Patents has successfully challenged more patents and entities than all other third parties combined, with a 93% success rate in 2023. Small startups can join for free, while larger companies pay an annual subscription.
