Foresight Sports, which is owned by Vista Outdoor’s Revelyst segment, and Uneekor, Inc., a manufacturer of golf simulator technologies, have reached an agreement that grants Uneekor a license to a number of Foresight Sports patents related to portable golf launch monitor technology.
Foresight Sports, a power brand in the Revelyst Precision Sports Technology platform, has long been a significant contributor to the portable golf launch monitor industry, marking its entry into the category with the launch of its first golf launch monitor, the GC2, in 2010. Foresight Sports product range also includes golf simulators, performance/entertainment software and smart mobility solutions.
Uneekor has emerged as a key player in stationary overhead-mounted launch monitor technology. Recently, Uneekor expanded into portable launch monitor technology, leading to discussions between the two companies. These discussions resulted in Uneekor agreeing to a license of Foresight Sports patents.
“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Uneekor, which acknowledges the value of our patented technologies,” said Jon Watters, president of Foresight Sports. “It is gratifying to see our early innovation regarding the use of a screen on the device remain relevant to portable launch monitor technology today, which we were able to ultimately license to Uneekor without change to either’s methodology for tracking and ball flight algorithms. Foresight Sports remains committed to protecting its intellectual property as we continue to develop industry-leading technology. I am proud that our continued innovation in the space is reflected in the unparalleled performance of our products.”
Jey Suk, CEO of Uneekor, commented, “We respect Foresight Sports’ contributions to the industry and are glad to have found a solution that allows us to continue providing our innovative products to customers. This agreement helps us move forward confidently, knowing that we are respecting the established technological advancements in the field.”
