Competition record
SAS Institute
Deep profile · 1 linked library matter
SAS Institute sells analytics software, including a role in the G3 tool hotels used to price extended-stay rooms. On 15 September 2026 a court refused to dismiss SAS from that case, and a broader motion is still ahead.
Overview
SAS builds software companies use to forecast demand and to recommend prices. In the extended-stay hotel case, the allegation is that SAS jointly developed the G3 pricing tool, not that it merely sold a component.
On 15 September 2026 the court refused to dismiss SAS. A broader motion is still ahead, so that order is not the last word on the pleadings.
Refusal to dismiss is not a finding that joint development happened or that room rates were fixed. The joint-development theory is what the court left in the case for now.
Competition footprint
G3 is a pricing tool for extended-stay hotels, and the claim is that SAS helped build it with the hotels rather than licensing an untouched package.
Joint development is a different allegation from a vendor that never sees competing hotels' rates.
The broader motion still to come can narrow or reframe what the 15 September order left in place.
Consumer & business angle
Guests pay the room rate, and they do not license SAS.
The extended-stay operators that allegedly built G3 with SAS are the other actors in the joint-development claim.
What to watch
- The broader motion that is still ahead.
- Whether the joint-development allegation against SAS survives that motion.
