Fandex filed 1 patent application in H1 2026, focused on Monetization (1).
The filing covers a virtual card game that combines elements of fantasy sports and poker, using real-time athlete performance data to determine card values. The system randomizes team selection to reduce the time commitment typically associated with fantasy sports while maintaining competitive gameplay.
On the Monetization side, 1 patent explores a card-based approach to fantasy sports participation. Rather than requiring players to research and manually draft a full roster, the system deals cards at random, with each card's value tied to how the corresponding athlete actually performs in real time. Players can discard and redraw, borrowing a mechanic familiar from poker, which keeps the experience accessible to people who lack the time for traditional fantasy league management. The filing also describes collectible card sets, adding a layer of ongoing engagement beyond any single game session.
