Short Summary
Sportradar AG petitions the PTAB to institute an IPR against SportsCastr's U.S. Patent 10,805,687 covering real‑time sports video and data streaming, arguing the claims are obvious over Ellis, Spivey, and Herzog. The petition seeks cancellation of claims 1‑9 and argues against discretionary denial.
Detailed Summary
In Petition IPR2025-00268, Sportradar AG challenges claims 1‑9 of U.S. Patent No. 10,805,687, which claims a server architecture for delivering live video and real‑time data feeds for sports events. The petitioner asserts three grounds of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. §103, each combining the prior art references Ellis, Spivey, and Herzog to show that all claim limitations are disclosed or would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art. The petition also argues there are no secondary considerations, no prior petition on the ’687, and urges the Board not to exercise discretionary denial, citing the Fintiv precedent. It requests the Board to institute the IPR and cancel the challenged claims.
