fuboTV is an operating company whose main business is providing a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) service, competing with cable television and other streaming platforms. The service is centered on live sports, offering access to a wide range of national and international leagues and events, but also includes a broad selection of news and entertainment channels. Subscribers can choose from various plans, such as "Pro" and "Elite," and can stream content on devices including smart TVs, mobile phones, and computers. The platform also offers features like cloud DVR storage and 4K streaming.

The company's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its technology. In all five of its tracked patent cases, fuboTV Inc. is the defendant. This litigation history, with zero cases as a plaintiff, is characteristic of a technology company being targeted for its products or services. All five suits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in the latter half of 2023.

The notable cases are a series of lawsuits brought by DISH Network's subsidiary, DISH Technologies L.L.C., and its affiliates. These suits allege that fuboTV's streaming service infringes on patents related to adaptive bitrate streaming technology, which adjusts video quality based on a user's internet connection. According to reports, the lawsuits were filed after licensing negotiations between the two companies were unsuccessful.
