Article One is delighted to announce our community's first winning Advisors - RickyJames and Patented - for their success in identifying winning prior art for this Study.  RickyJames was first to submit his winning prior art and so earns $35,000.00.  Patented was second to submit the winning prior art, earning $15,000.00.  RickyJames and Patented also join the ranks of Genius Advisors and are each awarded 500 profit sharing Points.

The determination of winners was based on Article One’s analysis, including review and analysis of outside counsel, leading Article One to reach the opinion that the prior art is invalidating because it teaches what is claimed in the subject patent U.S. Patent No. 6,784,873 B1.  Article One believes that the claimed inventions would have been obvious to persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art at the time of the inventions.
