A jury has awarded Skillz a $42.9 million judgment in its patent infringement lawsuit against rival AviaGames.
The jury found that Skillz provided a preponderance of evidence that AviaGames willfully infringed one of Skillz’s patents.
Skillz had alleged that AviaGames, originally an approved developer for the Skillz platform, had copied its patented platform and games from Big Run Studios in creating AviaGames’ own skill-based gaming platform, where players can wage real money for rewards in matches against other human players.
“The jury awarded us $42.9 million and found willful infringement. We’re very pleased with the verdict. It’s a step in the right direction to promoting fairness in our industry,” said Andrew Dahlinghaus, general counsel of Skillz, in a statement.
