"To establish a business whose goal is to wipe out patents is disgraceful"

The quote of Ray Niro, "To establish a business whose goal is to wipe out patents is disgraceful,"
appears at the end of a post by STUART WEINBERG and is related to the Litigation Avoidance service
of Article One.

See also an article by James Lee Phillips discussing Microsoft's joining up, which includes the following text:

The group is called Article One Partners, after Article One of the United States Constitution (the section which lays out the rough basis for the country's fundamental copyright laws). The organization has a simple method: using a crowdsourcing model, Article One pays significant amounts of cash (up to $50,000) for people who discover 'prior art' -- i.e., patents that render later patents invalid.

One notes that Article I of the Constitution empowers Congress as to patents and copyrights, and that prior art is not limited to patents.
