GeoComply is suing recently launched geolocation company Xpoint for patent infringement concerning how it detects a player’s location.
Filed Sept. 27, the lawsuit follows Xpoint’s first moves into the US online gaming space and mostly mentions its work with PlayStar and its online casino. Sporttrade and Mojo, two new NJ sportsbooks, also use Xpoint according to the suit.
GeoComply wants its patent protected along with additional unspecified damages, according to the suit.
“This action is about protecting GeoComply’s proprietary technology,” the company said in a statement. “We welcome healthy competition and new ideas in the marketplace and the ability to distinguish our leading solutions and technology from others. We also respect, and expect others to respect, the valuable intellectual property that companies like ours spend a lot of time, effort, and money developing. We are confident in the merits of our case.”
