Article One PartnersGlobal Payment Engine Helps Efficiently Fund Patent Research Worldwide

Article One Partners is a global patent research firm that crowdsources validity evidence from a network of hundreds of Researchers worldwide, paying millions in rewards (up to $5,000 for top submissions). As the network grew, the company faced a mounting operational burden: time-consuming manual payments, complex international tax and compliance requirements, and excessive payee paperwork that constrained scalability and researcher satisfaction.

By embedding Tipalti’s SaaS payment engine, Article One automated payee registration, verification, compliance checks and multi-currency disbursements, eliminating hours of manual data entry and reducing processing costs. The result: faster, scalable global payouts, greater researcher satisfaction through local currency and flexible payment options, and the ability to expand the researcher network while focusing on core patent research services.
