FaceTec wins total victory as PTAB upholds 100% of patents claims in four IPRs

SUMMERLIN, Nev., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FaceTec, Inc., the global leader in 3D Face Liveness and biometric identity verification, today announced it has been awarded a total victory by the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). In four separate inter partes reviews initiated by Jumio Corporation, the PTAB upheld the patentability of every challenged claim across FaceTec's four foundational 3D Liveness patents.

"With the PTAB's final written decisions, justice has been served, and the knockoff artists, copyists, serial infringers, and those who assist them, will not prevail," said Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec. "This victory fortifies the core innovations that make FaceTec's 3D Liveness the gold standard for secure identity verification. FaceTec will continue to assert its strong intellectual property portfolio, and would-be copyists of our inventions are now warned. If they steal our ideas, we will never stop fighting them."

In Final Written Decisions issued in IPR2025-00106 (U.S. Patent No. 10,776,471), IPR2025-00107 (U.S. Patent No. 11,157,606), IPR2025-00108 (U.S. Patent No. 11,693,938), and IPR2025-00109 (U.S. Patent No. 11,874,910), the PTAB determined that Jumio failed to prove that any of FaceTec's patent claims should be invalidated. These patents protect FaceTec's pioneering 3D Liveness technology, including evaluation of perspective distortion in face images taken at different distances to reliably verify a user's three-dimensionality and prevent spoofing attacks.

"This total victory positions us to proceed with the current patent infringement lawsuits against Jumio and iProov. The PTAB decision firmly establishes the validity of our core 3D Liveness IP. FaceTec is well positioned to seek both injunctive relief against and substantial monetary damages from infringers. These patents are central to FaceTec's industry-leading 3D Face Verification software suite, which is trusted by enterprises, governments, and financial institutions globally to verify that a remote user is a real person, the right person, and physically present in front of the camera at the time of verification," said Trevor Chaplick, Chief Legal Officer & EVP of Corporate Development for FaceTec.

"Perkins Coie LLP initially wrote and filed the IPRs for Jumio, only for Perkins to withdraw after a federal judge disqualified Perkins from the California patent lawsuit. Morrison & Foerster then represented Jumio, but [were] thoroughly defeated by the excellent team at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, who secured complete victories for FaceTec in all four IPR proceedings," said Terry Coffing, Deputy General Counsel, FaceTec.

This sweeping success at the PTAB further strengthens FaceTec's extensive portfolio of 48 patents and reinforces its position in ongoing and future patent enforcement actions.
