Project Jengo Celebrates One Year Anniversary by Releasing Prior Art

What this post added

This post marks the one-year anniversary of Project Jengo, a crowdsourced prior art search initiative launched in response to patent troll Blackbird Technologies. It details the release of approximately 200 pieces of prior art applicable to 34 Blackbird patents, intended to aid other companies facing similar litigation. The post also provides updates on legal challenges against Blackbird, including an Alice motion dismissal and an ongoing Inter Partes Review (IPR) for the '335 Patent. It highlights a successful ex parte reexamination (EPR) of Blackbird's '448 Patent, where prior art submitted by Project Jengo contributed to a Non-Final Office Action rejecting the patent. The program continues to accept prior art submissions and has awarded over $7,500 to participants, with plans for further awards.
