In the letter, Hansberry told Myers Delaware North started an investigation after the sportsbooks went offline. After the investigation started, Hansberry said Miomni provided details regarding the dispute. Namely, Entergaming alleges Miomni did not properly acquire the rights to use their back-end sports betting platform and needs to purchase additional rights.<\/p>\n
Prior to the interruption, (Delaware North) was unaware of any challenge to the intellectual property use or ownership rights of the platform technology that Miomni claimed to possess,\u201d Hansberry wrote. \u201cUnder the contract where Miomni is required to provide the Platform, Miomni was required to identify any portions of the Platform that included or otherwise required the use of another party\u2019s intellectual property.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Miomni disagrees with Entergaming\u2019s stance, according to the letter. Further, Miomni claims Entergaming acted inappropriately in prematurely disconnecting the platform.<\/p>\n
However, in the letter, Hansberry stated the Entergaming owns the platform.<\/p>\n
Hansberry added that Entergaming gave Miomni a termination notice in late February and advised the company it should notify Delaware North. That did not happen until after March 6, he said.<\/p>\n
Calls to Miomni and the West Virginia Lottery were not returned.<\/p>\n
