SUMMERLIN, Nev., Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FaceTec, the global leader in 3D biometric face liveness detection, has announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the UK company, iProov LTD, for alleged patent infringement, breach of contract, and intentional interference with contractual relations.

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants are willfully infringing on FaceTec's patented technology by adding features copied from FaceTec to its "Liveness Assurance" software. Further, FaceTec alleges iProov improperly incorporates aspects of FaceTec's technology that iProov learned through exhaustive participation in FaceTec's $100,000 Spoof Bounty Program, which requires acceptance of strict Terms & Conditions. In addition, FaceTec alleges that iProov, without authorization, used the FaceTec software for its own purposes outside the scope of the Bounty Program, and broke confidentiality provisions.

FaceTec stands ready to defend its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law against any and all who choose to infringe.

Post this

Case number 2:21-cv-02252 was filed on 12/28/21 in the United States District Court, District of Nevada.

From the Complaint, page 2, "NATURE OF THE ACTION":

"3. This is an action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the United States 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., including 35 U.S.C. § 271, and the Court's supplemental jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S. Code § 1367.

4. FaceTec is informed and believes that Defendant has infringed and continues to infringe, contribute to the infringement of, and/or actively induce others to infringe Plaintiff's U.S. Patent No. 10,776,471 B2 (the "'471 patent" or the "patent-in-suit"). Ex. A.

5. In addition, FaceTec is informed and believes that Defendant has breached and continues to breach its contractual obligations to FaceTec."

"FaceTec stands ready to defend its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law against any and all who choose to infringe," said Terry Coffing, Chief Legal Officer of FaceTec.
