Total of 39 issued patents with 33 pending, further strengthening its leading IP portfolio
FaceTec, Inc., a world leader in biometric cybersecurity and identity verification, is pleased to announce the recent allowance of a U.S. patent application and another newly issued patent, which both strengthen FaceTec’s core IP protection of its 3D Liveness detection capability. FaceTec’s software now performs over 3.5 billion 3D Liveness checks annually, and the company has recently released the ground-breaking UR® Code identity verification protocol.
“FaceTec has the best and brightest R&D team in biometrics, and we are dedicated to advancing 3D face verification security. FaceTec continues to innovate from within rather than surreptitiously purchase outdated patent portfolios around technology that was never commercially successful,” said Kevin Alan Tussy, FaceTec CEO. “We will continue our tradition of rapid in-house innovation to meet the dynamic needs of our global customer base.”
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) allowed patent application number 18/205,968 featuring five independent claims directed to three-dimensionality evaluation. The allowance of this patent application anchors FaceTec’s IP protection with patent claims that further protect FaceTec’s core technology. This patent application was examined and allowed in full view of all known prior art, giving it a legal presumption of validity if challenged by those seeking to unfairly benefit from FaceTec’s significant investment in R&D and world-leading inventions. This patent will protect FaceTec’s methods and systems that evaluate a person’s three-dimensionality based on collected facial images. Numerous additional continuation-type patent applications are also currently pending.
In addition, FaceTec is proud to announce the USPTO has granted Design Patent D1,074,689, covering face-framing ovals as part of a graphical user interface. FaceTec pioneered this user interface over nine years ago. Since then, numerous less innovative companies have attempted to copy this design. This design patent expands the protection of FaceTec’s customer-facing user interface.
As the industry is aware, FaceTec innovates and aggressively protects its IP rights. These two new patents are now part of FaceTec’s enforceable portfolio. Demonstrating FaceTec’s leading-edge innovation, it has 39 issued patents and 33 currently pending patent applications. FaceTec is a transparent organization that provides honest and thorough information regarding its products and capabilities, and assistance to quickly and cost-effectively incorporate FaceTec software into third-party applications.
