Altenar has formally notified the US District Court for the District of New Jersey that it will oppose Sportradar's attempt to move an ongoing lawsuit over US professional sports league data rights into private arbitration.
The dispute centers on controls over data from US professional leagues. Sportradar, listed on Nasdaq, has sought to relocate the case out of federal court. Altenar's filing is designed to hold the litigation in New Jersey and prevent that transfer.
The case sits at the junction of sports data licensing and the infrastructure that sportsbooks and prediction market operators depend on for real-time event settlement. A ruling that forces arbitration would remove the proceeding from public record, narrowing what operators and regulators can observe about how data exclusivity agreements are structured and enforced in the US market.
