For those unfamiliar with intellevate, Intellevate is a leader in software and outsourcing services helping the intellectual property community.

Thus, Intel might be using peer-to-patent to evaluate the quality of outsourced patent applications.
IPBiz finds eight (8) applications up as of July 19. The GE application still leads the commentary.
