USPTO grants FaceTec new patent, bringing its portfolio to 50 issued patents
FaceTec said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a new patent, bringing its issued portfolio to 50 as it continues to seek more protection for its 3D liveness and identity-verification software.
FaceTec said Tuesday that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a new patent, bringing the biometric security company’s issued portfolio to 50 patents.
The company said 50 patent applications remain pending. It said the new grant adds protection around its 3D liveness and identity-verification software, which it markets to banks, governments and other organizations.
The patent, U.S. patent 12,699,756, is described in the release as covering server nodes for autonomous authentication. FaceTec said another patent grant covering remotely collected biometric images to supplement a database is expected soon.
FaceTec said its software performed more than 4 billion 3D liveness checks in the past 12 months for enterprises and governments on six continents.
FaceTec, founded in 2013 and headquartered in the U.S., said it has staff in the UK, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico and Canada. The company said its software is used in banking and finance, government, e-commerce, global social networks, digital national IDs and mobile driver licenses.
In the release, CEO Kevin Alan Tussy said the company advances remote 3D face-verification security through in-house innovation. He also said FaceTec does not buy older patent portfolios, but builds its own through development work.
The release also said the Patent Trial and Appeal Board recently issued a total victory for FaceTec in four inter partes review proceedings brought by Jumio Corporation, upholding 100% of the challenged claims across four 3D liveness patents. FaceTec also referenced patent infringement litigation against Jumio and iProov Ltd.
FaceTec said it expects continued growth in its patent portfolio. The company did not say when the next grant would be issued.
