In a statement to Casino.org Monday, Sightline Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Carleton said that Everi\u2019s response did not \u201csubstantively address\u201d the lawsuit\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n
\n
Sightline claims that Everi\u2019s CashClub Wallet uses systems that connect non-wagering accounts with gaming environments, and allow gaming systems to pull funding from those accounts. That is a solution Sightline said is similar to the platform it developed, based on technology the company\u2019s three cofounders patented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
When Everi announced its cashless gaming solution, Sightline said it tasked its intellectual property lawyers to review the competition\u2019s offering. That\u2019s when Sightline said the infringements were uncovered.<\/p>\n
Carleton added that Everi indicates it can\u2019t refute the claims. She also indicated that Sightline would oppose moving the case.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/strong>Everi was quick to denounce Sightline\u2019s claims of patent infringement and commented that it would \u2018vigorously defend\u2019 against a lawsuit that Everi characterized as \u2018without merit,\u2019\u201d Carleton said. \u201cDespite these statements, Everi\u2019s motion instead suggests that its senior leadership was somehow unaware of the actions of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We look forward to further discussing this case in the Western District of Texas where there is clear standing given Everi\u2019s operations in that jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\nThere is no time frame for when US District Judge Alan D. Albright may rule on Everi’s motion or Sightline’s complaint.<\/p>\n
