Considerations

Six strategic reasons

01

Defensive position

Potentially strengthens control around adjacent functionality a platform may wish to develop.

02

Competitor relevance

Several competitors publicly operate architectures with varying degrees of correspondence.

03

Market timing

Patent priority dates to 18 December 2020.

04

Portfolio strength

Potential addition to sportsbook and social gaming IP portfolios.

05

Licensing optionality

Potential future licensing and cross-licensing value, subject to legal review.

06

Scarcity

A granted US patent is a finite transferable asset that cannot be independently recreated with the same priority date.
