Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.

· IPR2024-01308

The Board determined that the combination of prior art references (Ellis, Spivey, Herzog) taught or suggested all limitations of Claim 1 and its dependents based on the preliminary record. This sets a significant hurdle for SportsCastr's patent validity in digital media streaming technology.

patent instituted · Aug 22, 2024

Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
