fuboTV Media Inc. et al. v.DISH Technologies L.L.C. et al.
fuboTV Media Inc. successfully convinced the PTAB to institute an IPR against DISH Technologies L.L.C.'s adaptive bitrate streaming patent (10757156). The Board found that the petitioner showed a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on obviousness grounds over prior art references Leaning and Ala-Honkola. This sets up a high-stakes challenge to core technology in digital media streaming.
Genius Sports v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB found that claims 16-30 of the patent are unpatentable based on anticipation and obviousness grounds. The Board concluded that prior art references, specifically Ellis and Spivey, teach or suggest all limitations of several challenged claims related to live event streaming and data synchronization.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding all 15 challenged claims unpatentable as obvious over combinations of prior art. Petitioner successfully demonstrated that combining Ellis and Spivey taught an 'event socket' to improve latency, while other grounds were also met by the combination of Ellis, Spivey, and Herzog.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB found that claims 19-25 and 27-30 of the '687 patent were unpatentable over a combination of Ellis and Spivey, based on obviousness (Ground 1). The Board rejected an alternative ground involving Herzog, finding no motivation to combine those references.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB institution decision found reasonable likelihood of unpatentability for Genius Sports Ltd.'s claims against SportsCastr Inc. 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.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
Genius Sports Ltd. successfully convinced the PTAB to institute IPR proceedings against SportsCastr Inc. d/b/a PANDA Interactive regarding live event broadcasting claims. The Board accepted the Petitioner's arguments that the claimed technology is obvious over combinations of prior art references, including Ellis and Spivey. This sets the stage for a full trial on unpatentability grounds.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB institution decision was granted, finding sufficient rationale for the Petitioner to combine teachings from prior art references (Ellis and Spivey) under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The Board specifically found that combining Ellis's content source with Spivey’s live data server devices would improve latency in real-time event delivery.
Genius Sports v.SportsCastr Inc.
The PTAB institution decision granted IPR against claims 16-30 of the '218 patent, finding sufficient evidence to overcome initial defenses. The Board found that Petitioner successfully demonstrated a rationale for combining prior art references (Ellis and Spivey) to meet the institutional standard for obviousness.
Genius Sports Ltd. v.SportsCastr Inc. (d/b/a PANDA Interactive)
The PTAB denied institution of the IPR petition filed by Genius Sports Ltd. against SportsCastr Inc., finding that Petitioner failed to establish a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on any challenged claim. The denial hinged on insufficient rationale for combining prior art references and specific claims not being supported by cited teachings.
