In the US, anyones company can be financially destroyed by wealthy competitors who abuse the corrupt legal system via bad faith lawsuits like this one. In this case, his $35 million business is being destroyed by Match because simply because the name contains the simple English word “match”—a common word associated with matchmaking-a common word associated with dating services for decades before match.com existed, and also because it briefly utilized a “swipe” left/right system for likes—a most basic UI interaction concept which should never have been allowed a copyright to begin with. I’ve heard many such stories of companies being destroyed by having to pay 6-7 figure sums defending themselves from frivolous lawsuits like this one. The courts here are so corrupt here that it saddens me and made me lose faith after hearing so many such stories.
