'Love At First Swipe' win legal dispute against Tinder owners 'The Match Group'
The LAFS App is the first of its kind on the market, with a screenshot blocking mechanism, auto deleting messages and a double dating feature which gives it a fresh edge amongst competitors.
Love at First Swipe's CEO and founder, AD, says, "Today is a great day for the little man. Any start-up venture that gets served with a notice from The Match Group feels very vulnerable and intimidated but we thought what we're doing is genuine, we're trying to create an App which is secure for women – we battled it through and didn't back down. I want to thank the UKIPO for the decision they've made. Here's to a prosperous 2022 for Love At First Swipe."
1214 Media and Love at First Swipe have worked on an array of events, influencer targeted campaigns and promotional activity since 2019 to push the new App into an ever-competitive space. This decision will allow both teams to focus on growing the App and pushing to make it the number one dating app in the UK.
1214 Media and Love at First Swipe acknowledge the expertise and care that their trade mark attorneys HGF have put into this case. HGF's Lee Curtis who represented LAFS at the UKIPO Hearing has been instrumental in this victory for the brand.
