Short Summary
Jumio has filed an IPR petition seeking cancellation of all 20 claims of FaceTec’s facial‑authentication patent, arguing obviousness over multiple prior‑art references and opposing discretionary denial.
Detailed Summary
In Petition IPR2025-00106, Jumio Corporation challenges U.S. Patent No. 10,776,471 owned by FaceTec, Inc., asserting that claims 1‑20 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §103. The petition relies on a detailed combination of prior‑art references—including Derakhshani, Zhang, Tanii, Tahk, and Hoyos—to show that the claimed camera‑distance‑based distortion detection was obvious to a person of ordinary skill. It also contends that the Board should not deny institution on discretionary grounds, citing co‑pending litigation, the Fintiv issue, and the lack of a §315(b) privity argument. The petitioner seeks cancellation of the challenged claims under §311.
