Adding to this, US Pat. 12,496,524 was just issued to GameChanger. It covers how the app generates automatic text for game sessions and create narrative news recaps the moment a game ends. Seeing the jump from 2014 data tracking to 2025 AI-driven storytelling is great example of portfolio expansion!

Found a patent marking on my kids' GameChanger app—a great reminder that even low-tech youth sports are powered by deep IP.
US Pat. 8,731,458 & 9,393,485 cover mobile tracking and the logic that auto-generates game recaps. Impressive engineering!
Do your everyday apps have IP? #SportsTech #Patents

It's a nice idea but it would be expensive, and just filing the patent applications wouldn't prevent them from implementing them unless you were able to get meaningful claim scope granted. Better approach is just to publish all the information somewhere so they can't protect it themselves.

Right now they're pending applications. It'll be interesting to see what scope of protection they can get if these patent applications are allowed. The biggest hurdle for the US application is a prior Sony patent application describing monitoring gameplay and spectators.

There are over 50 patents covering the diaper that the adorable model—my daughter Rose—is wearing in this picture!
In a competitive market like diapers, even a small adjustment—such as a millimeter difference—can result in a valuable patent.
