PANDA Interactive filed two separate lawsuits alleging Genius Sports and Sportradar are infringing on the patents that make it possible to stream and bet simultaneously.

SportsCastr, which does business under the name of PANDA Interactive, filed its lawsuits on Oct. 5 in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The alleged infringements involve U.S. Patent Nos. 10,805,687, 11,039,218, and 10,425,697.

PANDA’s patented technology allows viewers to place a bet or purchase a product while simultaneously watching a streaming sporting event. The company uses a unique socket server architecture to synchronize the feeds.

PANDA claims that it developed its groundbreaking technology back in 2018, before the legal sports betting in the US.
