WinView IP Holdings, LLC

WinView IP Holdings, LLC is a privately held entity that primarily functions as a patent assertion entity. While its direct headquarters are not widely publicized, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of WinView Technology, Inc., which was founded in 2008 and is based in Silicon Valley, specifically Redwood City, California. WinView Technology, Inc. historically had around 40 employees and generated approximately $12.3 million in revenue. WinView IP Holdings, LLC was formed by former WinView CEO David Lockton and acquired WinView's patent portfolio in September 2023.

The company does not offer operational products or services itself. Instead, WinView IP Holdings, LLC asserts a portfolio of over 100 issued and 18 pending patents. These patents cover core mechanics of live game production, synchronized skill contests, multi-room competition, odds-setting, and monetization methods for sports and classic games. Specific technologies claimed include low-latency streaming, real-time betting synchronization, and fairness-enhancing mechanisms in sports wagering. The original WinView company developed a mobile application for real-time, skill-based sports prediction games that allowed users to play along with live televised sports for cash prizes.

WinView IP Holdings, LLC maintains a patent-litigation posture as an NPE, actively asserting its acquired intellectual property. The company has appeared as a plaintiff in all two of its tracked cases and has no record as a defendant. These lawsuits are concentrated in the New Jersey District Court. The company is noted to be litigation-funded.

The company's most prominent tracked cases include separate patent infringement lawsuits filed on February 10, 2025, against DraftKings and FanDuel, Inc. et al. in the District of New Jersey. These cases allege that the defendants unlawfully incorporated WinView's patented technologies into their sports betting platforms, covering functionalities such as live, in-play wagering, micro-betting, online casino gaming, and Daily Fantasy Sports. Prior discussions with both DraftKings and FanDuel regarding potential licensing agreements did not result in a resolution before legal action was taken. Earlier cases against the same defendants, filed in 2021, were administratively terminated due to inter partes review proceedings, with WinView IP Holdings, LLC subsequently initiating new cases over additional patents.
