Company profile

Genius Sports Media Ltd. is a UK private limited company (Companies House no. 10197166), incorporated 24 May 2016 and registered at 27 Soho Square, London. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genius Sports Limited, the London-headquartered sports-data and technology group listed on the NYSE as GENI (founded 2001, public since a 2020 SPAC merger). The parent group reported FY2025 revenue of ~US$669.5M and roughly 2,000–2,700 employees, with a market cap in the ~US$1–2B range. Genius Sports Media Ltd. is the group's media/advertising arm, headquartered in London.

Products / operations. Genius Sports Media Ltd. supplies live content and marketing services for sports and gaming brands, embedding real-time statistics, betting odds, and video highlights into advertisers' creative and giving digital publishers tools to grow audiences and monetize sports-betting content. At the group level this is the "Media Technology, Content and Services" segment, which powers the FANHub programmatic/social media-buying and fan-activation platform, audience data products (Fan Graph, FANHub ID), and data-driven marketing campaigns for sportsbooks, leagues, and brands.

Patent-litigation posture. Genius Sports Media Ltd. is an operating company, not an NPE. Its only tracked appearance is as a defendant (1 defendant case, 0 plaintiff cases) in SportsCastr Inc. v. Genius Sports Ltd. et al. (2:23-cv-00471), filed 5 October 2023 in the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division) — a plaintiff-friendly venue. The company was named alongside affiliate entities (Genius Sports Ltd., Genius Sports Technologies Ltd., Genius Sports UK Ltd., and the Maven Topco/Midco/Debco/Bidco holding entities).

Notable case. SportsCastr Inc. (d/b/a Panda Interactive), a sports-video-streaming product company, alleges infringement of patents covering low-latency live-stream delivery with synchronized event/betting-data overlays, targeting Genius products such as BetVision, LiveData, and In-Play MultiBet. Genius's SEC filings confirm the litigation and note that in February 2025 the plaintiff added federal and Texas antitrust claims; Genius says it is defending all claims. A parallel SportsCastr suit against Sportradar (2:23-cv-00472) was filed the same day and has been coordinated with the Genius case.
