Company overview. Genius Sports Group Ltd. is the UK holding company of Genius Sports Limited (formerly Genius Sports Group Limited; renamed April 2021), a London-based sports-data and technology provider founded in 2001 and listed on the NYSE under "GENI." The group went public in 2021 via a SPAC merger with dMY Technology Group II, after earlier private-equity backing from Apax Partners. Sources put headcount at roughly 2,000–2,700 employees; revenue was $510.9M in FY2024 and $669.5M in FY2025, with trailing-twelve-month revenue around $713M and a market cap near $1.6–2.0B as of mid-2026 (company 20-F; PitchBook; Mergr).
Products / operations. Genius is a B2B operating company that supplies technology and official data to sports leagues, sportsbooks, and media firms across three segments: Sports Technology and Services (data collection, streaming, and integrity/match-monitoring tools for leagues such as the NFL and English Premier League); Betting Technology, Content and Services (live data and odds feeds, trading/risk management, and streaming products such as BetVision and GeniusLive); and Media Technology, Content and Services (fan engagement, digital advertising, e.g., FanHub).
Patent-litigation posture. Genius is an operating company defending as a defendant in its one tracked suit (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case) — SportsCastr Inc. v. Genius Sports Ltd. et al., filed October 5, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (No. 2:23-cv-00471; a parallel case against competitor Sportradar is No. 2:23-cv-00472). The venue is a frequently used, patent-plaintiff-friendly forum. Plaintiff SportsCastr Inc. (d/b/a PANDA Interactive) is itself a practicing sports-streaming technology company, not a classic NPE, per the Stanford NPE Litigation Database.
Notable context. The complaint asserts four patents (U.S. Nos. 10,805,687; 11,039,218; 10,425,697; 11,871,088) covering low-latency live video streams synchronized with betting data, targeting Genius products such as BetVision, LiveData, and In-Play MultiBet. In February 2025, SportsCastr amended to add Sherman Act and Texas antitrust claims. Genius has challenged the patents through IPR petitions, and its 20-F states trial on the patent claims was listed for April 2026; the case remains ongoing.
