Brivas, a Nevada-based company, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Match Group, claiming unauthorized use of its biometric liveness detection technology in various dating apps. The lawsuit alleges that Match Group's Face Check identity verification system infringes on eight U.S. patents related to active liveness detection methods. These patents, developed by Brivas and acquired from 3Fish, focus on confirming the presence of a real person versus a deepfake or photo. The case is currently in the initial pleading stage in the Northern District of Texas. Brivas is seeking injunctive relief, damages, and attorney's fees. The patents in question include those granted between 2017 and 2024, with Brivas asserting that its technology predates the rise of deepfakes. Match Group has utilized FaceTec's liveness detection in its apps, including Tinder and Hinge, but FaceTec is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
