Brivas files patent infringement lawsuit against Match Group over FaceTec liveness detection

Nevada-based Brivas filed a patent infringement claim against Match Group in the Northern District of Texas, alleging the dating app maker used its proprietary biometric liveness detection technology without a license. The claims involve eight U.S. patents related to active liveness detection, and Brivas alleges Match Group's Face Check identity verification system, which applies FaceTec liveness detection across apps including Tinder, OKCupid, BLK and Upward, directly and indirectly violates each patent. Brivas, considered a non-practicing entity, is seeking injunctive relief, damages, attorney's fees and costs. FaceTec is not named as a defendant.
