WinView, a Silicon Valley-based company founded in 2008, has been the longtime dominant player in the world of second-screen interactive sports gaming. Holding 68 patents in the field, they have managed to develop quite the IP portfolio and they are not showing any signs of slowing down. This portfolio was one of the predominant drivers that led to the company’s acquisition by the esports company Torque which was finalized earlier last month.

With such an overwhelming grasp over the industry and the methods that make its monetization possible, WinView has dominated without much threat of competition since their inception. However, competition may be on the rise as an application detailing a similar gaming experience was just published after being filed by Disney. While Disney has been active in the field of sports analytics for some time now, their recent trend in patent data is the first sign of their interest in possibly entering the business of second-screen interactive television.
