Relo Metrics (formerly GumGum Sports) has announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,124,509 titled "Automated Media Analysis for Sponsor Valuation".

This new patent is the 7th U.S. patent issued to Relo Metrics, which also holds a robust portfolio of issued patents in Australia and Europe, underscoring its position as the most advanced provider of AI-powered, real-time sponsorship valuation in the industry. With a focus on high-speed video, text, and image analysis leveraging computer vision, Relo Metrics solidifies its standing as the industry’s source for innovation, scale, and unmatched accuracy in sports marketing and analytics.

This newly issued patent builds on Relo's dedication to setting the highest standards for currency-grade data in sponsorship analytics. The patent covers a proprietary system that uses computer vision and machine learning to analyse sponsor visibility in real-time sports broadcasts. By pairing sponsor logos with specific locations or items within a venue and calculating aggregated media value based on exposure duration, Relo Metrics offers brands, agencies, and rights holders unparalleled insights into sponsorship ROI, and creates the ability to connect partners and value this fast growing segment of marketing.

"Relo Metrics is dedicated to transforming how brands measure and optimise sponsorship value," said Jay Prasad, CEO of Relo Metrics. "This new patent represents our ongoing commitment to creating a currency-grade standard that powers immediate, actionable insights across the live economy. With each new patent, we reinforce our role as the trusted source for accurate and scalable data that moves the sports marketing industry forward."

The latest U.S. patent leverages machine learning to create a data standard that teams, leagues, brands, and agencies can rely on to make informed sponsorship decisions. This approach distinguishes Relo Metrics from traditional competitors by providing granular and scaled data that integrates seamlessly into strategic planning, fan engagement strategies, and sponsorship deal negotiations.
