Project Jengo: Cloudflare's Prior Art Search Bounty

Cloudflare has been sued by patent troll, Blackbird Technologies, and is seeking help from the public in combating such legal threats. The company is offering up to $50,000 for prior art that can be used to invalidate patents held by Blackbird Tech. This initiative aims to expose weaknesses in these patents and prevent them from being weaponized against innovative companies. Prior art refers to evidence showing the technology was in use or known before the patent holder conceived of it. Awards will be given based on relevance and usefulness, with a total of $20,000 for prior art related to the '335 patent used by Blackbird against Cloudflare, and up to $30,000 for other patents held by the company. The public can submit their suggestions through cloudflare.com/priorartsearch/.
