Teaming up to Solve the Prior Art Searching Puzzle

At Article One Partners, we are excited to begin July by teaming up with Intellogist. In a blog post last week, Intellogist mentioned how Article One and Intellogist are complimentary halves of the "prior art searching puzzle"; we could not agree more. 

Intellogist has a variety of resources to help those who search for prior art, such as information about patent search systems, databases and other possible sources of both patent and non-patent literature.  As you can imagine, these tools can help you refine your own strategy for submitting prior art to our Studies, or requests for research.

We invite our AOP community to take advantage of these resources and tools available on Intellogist.  To begin, read through their community-supported Best Practices articles and their Intellogist Reports.  Share your own knowledge by contributing to the Wiki articles and discussion forum. 

And to our friends from Intellogist, welcome to Article One.  Seize this opportunity and show your expertise by responding to our Studies – where you can win thousands for your research.  Sign up with Article One to learn how rewarding it is to be part of the AOP community.
