Have you ever swiped right on a dating app? If you answered yes, then you’ve likely used Tinder or Bumble. If something about the two apps feel eerily familiar, you might agree with the lawsuit that Tinder filed in March of 2018, against their swiping (right for \u2018yes,\u2019 left for \u2018no\u2019) competition, Bumble.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, Tinder\u2019s parent company alleges that Bumble<\/a> is all but a clone of Tinder<\/a> and has, therefore, stolen its \u201ctrade secrets and infringed on their legal U.S. copyright.\u201d Specifically, that Bumble<\/a> parroted their “world-changing, card swipe-based, mutual opt-in premise.\u201d<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-6.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ alt=”tinder bumble lawsuit” align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

In response, Bumble has countersued Tinder<\/a> for a host of things, including fraudulently stealing company secrets and is asking for a $400 million settlement.<\/p>\n

Background of the Bumble and Tinder\u2019s Founders<\/h2>\n

Though the similarities in swiping technology could seem incidental, the history of connectedness between the two companies is worth noting.<\/p>\n

Bumble was created after Tinder, by Whitney Wolfe and a co-creator. However, Wolfe started her career at Tinder, during its origins and worked as a marketer and creator, being given the title of co-founder and vice president of marketing. It is said she was behind Tinder\u2019s logo and even its name. Her job also involved getting sign-ups at college campuses and events. Sparks soon flew as she and one of Tinder\u2019s co-founders, Justin Mateen, fell in love.<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-9.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

However, their love was not to last and, after about a year, their break up led to text messages (from Mateen to Wolfe) which Wolfe considered harassment. Though the text messages at the time state she would not sue, she later changed her mind and filed a lawsuit alleging sexual discrimination and harassment, resulting in settlement of $1 million, paid to Wolfe in 2014.<\/p>\n

Fast forward several years to 2017-2018, when Bumble\u2019s parent company, Match Group, expressed an interest in acquiring Bumble. As time heals old wounds, Wolfe had moved on with a lavish wedding, and acquisition of Bumble seemed a sign of peace. Instead, as those talks progressed over a time span of about six months, Match Group was reportedly dismayed to find Bumble was also in the negotiations with other companies.<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-4-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Bumble alleges that Tinder\u2019s lawsuit is an outright attempt to sour the public and private views of the company and make it less \u2018attractive\u2019 to buyers.<\/p>\n

More serious, perhaps, is that during the period in which the two companies were in talks, Bumble alleges that Match Group was shown confidential information under the guise of it facilitating a higher financial offer. Bumble\u2019s lawsuit shows that the financial offer never came and accused Match Group of using the private info they obtained from their app businesses.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Bumble alleges that Tinder intentionally \u201cpublished false or disparaging information about Bumble, including statements in the press falsely claiming that Bumble infringed Match\u2019s intellectual property, as well as false statements in the Lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/My-Post-8-1.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

How much does Bumble want in payment from Match Group? A whopping $400 million and an injunction to protect any of the private information Match Group or its associates \u201cacquired.\u201d According to statements Match Group has provided to TechCrunch,<\/p>\n

\u201cThis lawsuit is a petulant and meritless response to our patent, trademark, and trade secret claims. Last week, Bumble claimed our complaint was baseless and won\u2019t affect them, and this week they claim it is \u201cchilling\u201d the sale of their company.<\/p>\n

They also shockingly claim that our patents issued by the United States Patent & Trademark Office are \u201cbogus.\u201d We obviously think their lawsuit has no substance and look forward to proving that in court. \u2013 Match Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

We will see what the courts decide for the two companies.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, don\u2019t let it impact your dating and swiping!<\/p>\n
