Crossmatch, a globally-recognized leader in biometric identity management and secure authentication solutions announced that it has filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Integrated Biometrics.
At issue are numerous Integrated Biometrics scanners that infringe four Crossmatch patents covering core functionalities of fingerprint scanners, including auto-capture, print error detection and capturing roll prints.
According to the complaint, all of Integrated Biometrics’ FBI-certified scanners infringe Crossmatch patents 9,280,695; 7,203,344; 7,277,562 and 6,483,932. Crossmatch seeks a variety of relief from the court in its lawsuit including a permanent injunction prohibiting Integrated Biometrics’ sale of infringing products, as well as monetary damages, including treble damages for willful infringement and recovery of attorneys’ fees.
Crossmatch General Counsel Kathryn Hutton noted, “Our technologies and expertise are helping organizations of all sizes achieve enhanced levels of security and efficiency.
