Stats Perform to Deliver Football Analytics Course with Birkbeck University
Stats Perform, in collaboration with the Birkbeck University, is going to deliver a football analytics module as part of the institution’s Sport Management and Business of Football MSc. This is the second academic year in which Stats Perform is collaborating with the Birkbeck University of London.
The academically accredited module will start on 28 April. It will run for eleven weeks and conclude on July 7. In light of the current global situation, each session will be delivered online by experienced industry professionals possessing first-hand experience of implementing data and analytical processes within the sport.
“Having devised and successfully delivered the first edition of this course in 2019, we are delighted to be continuing our collaboration with Birkbeck to outline the core fundamentals around football analytics,” Stats Perform’s Ben Mackriell said.
“Since delivering last year’s course, the application of applied analytics has continued to evolve as new concepts generated through AI and Machine Learning have been introduced. This remote course can provide both students and industry practitioners with an ideal opportunity to obtain insights which can provide a foundation for them to further understand and apply these concepts throughout their future careers,” Ben Mackriell added.
“I am very happy to be continuing this partnership with Stats Perform. The creation of this module has allowed our institution to enlarge its curricula and the fact that we partner with Stats Perform is a validation of the quality of our work,” Giambattista Rossi, Lecturer at Birkbeck University, said.
“We are currently faced with unprecedented challenges in delivering our academic programme and I am delighted that Stats Perform have committed to delivering each of the module sessions remotely to our enrolled MSc students. With each lecture being delivered by an expert in football analytics, possessing relevant industry experience, we will continue to be able to provide the perfect teaching and studying environment to the students,” Giambattista Rossi added.

Brazil federal court suspends Spribe’s Aviator trademark rights pending final ruling
18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District blocks enforcement of Brazilian registration No. 501759803 after action by Aviator Studio Brazil.
A Federal Court in Brazil has ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” preventing the company from relying on exclusivity rights tied to Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is issued.
The decision was issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, following legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil. Aviator Studio said the court recognized the strength of its claims on the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.
According to Aviator Studio, the case centers on evidence that the Aviator trademark was created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The company said the court acknowledged evidence that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018.
The court also took note of prior judicial decisions in Georgia that, according to Aviator Studio, invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.
“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”

Importantly, the court also took note of previous judicial decisions in Georgia that invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.
