SIA Evolution Latvia is an operating company that actively defends its intellectual property. Its patent litigation posture is currently as a plaintiff, with one tracked case and no defendant cases. This indicates an assertion strategy to protect its technology and trade secrets. The single tracked case was filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada.
The notable case, Evolution Malta Limited et al. v. Light & Wonder, Inc. et al., was filed on May 28, 2024. The lawsuit alleges that Light & Wonder, Inc. infringed upon Evolution's intellectual property, specifically related to its "Lightning Roulette" title.

Aspects of this dispute concerning trade secrets have been directed to arbitration, while claims of patent infringement remain before the Nevada District Court.
