A bounty posting offers a reward in exchange for a particular piece of very valuable information. This information may be used to try to invalidate a patent that probably shouldn't be in existence in the first place, or it may be used to make sure that a patent that's about to be applied for is going to be valid. Bounty postings contain an overview of the patent in question, a detailed description of the patent claims under dispute, and the requirements that reference needs to fulfill in order to be useful. To make things easier for you, the Hunter, Postings also include a list of key terms to keep in mind during your hunt, and any figures that might be of interest or use to you. The first thing that you should do is register to become a Bounty Hunter.
