Company overview. Maven Debtco Ltd. (legal name: MAVEN DEBTCO LIMITED; Companies House No. 11473373) is a private limited company incorporated in England & Wales on 19 July 2018, with its registered office at 27 Soho Square, London. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Maven Midco Ltd., part of the "Maven" holding-company chain (Maven Topco Ltd. → Maven Midco Ltd. → Maven Bidco/Debtco) that sits under Genius Sports Limited, the NYSE-listed sports-data group (ticker: GENI). The Maven structure was created in 2018 when Apax Funds invested in Genius Sports, and Maven entities remain subsidiaries of the public parent. It is a micro-sized entity (fewer than 10 employees, no trading revenue), though its filed accounts carry large intercompany balance-sheet positions (net assets on the order of £350–360 million per Endole's summary of its filings).
Products / services / operations. Maven Debtco has no products, services, or operating business. Its Companies House SIC code is 74990 ("non-trading company"); its directors are Genius Sports' General Counsel (Thomas Russell) and CFO (Nicholas Taylor). "Debtco" entities in this structure typically hold intercompany debt and financing arrangements for the group, which is consistent with a non-trading financing vehicle.
Patent-litigation posture. Maven Debtco is purely a defendant: 0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case in the tracked data. It was named — alongside Genius Sports Ltd. and the other Maven group companies — in SportsCastr Inc. v. Genius Sports Ltd. et al. (No. 2:23-cv-00471-JRG), filed 5 October 2023 in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, before Judge Rodney Gilstrap, a commonly used plaintiff-friendly venue. It is not an NPE; it is a corporate entity of an operating group defending as part of the consolidated "Genius" defendant group.
Notable case context. The case was brought by SportsCastr Inc. (d/b/a PANDA Interactive), a practicing video-streaming company, alleging infringement of patents covering live event video streaming and synchronized event information (U.S. Patent Nos. 10,805,687; 11,039,218; 10,425,697; 11,871,088), with Sherman Act and Texas antitrust claims later added. It is consolidated with the parallel suit against Sportradar (lead case 2:23-cv-00472) and has spawned related PTAB IPR petitions. Maven Debtco itself has no independent role in the dispute beyond its membership in the Genius corporate family.
