Tinder Settles With Chinese Dating App Developer Tantan

Los Angeles-based dating app developer Tinder, which is owned by Match Group, has settled a patent and trademark infringement lawsuit with Chinese dating app developer Tantan. Tinder had accused Tantan of creating a copycat of Tinder's system in China. Financial details of that settlement were not announced. Match Group had filed its patent and trademark infringement lawsuit against Tantan--often referrred to as "China's Tinder"--back in March. The patent lawsuit, Match Group LLV v. Tantan Ltd., had been filed in the Texas Western District Court, a popular location for patent infringement lawsuits.
