Muzmatch (Muslim dating app) loses legal battle to Match (owns Tinder and more)

The founder of this must not understand or care for the rammifications of passing off laws.<p>By calling it Muzmatch.com there are almost certainly people who thought it was a spin-off from Match.com, a market leader with trusted standards of operation. This is why you lose passing off cases.<p>If he&#x27;d have called it something that wasn&#x27;t extremely similar to market incumbents he&#x27;d have a leg to stand on, and the story he tells on their blog is trying to paint themselves as the victims here but they really aren&#x27;t.<p>The likelihood is that they will change their name and the vast majority of their existing users will carry on as-is. That&#x27;s quite a win as he should consider himself lucky that they haven&#x27;t been sued for loss of earnings by Match.com against the entire time they have been open.

Stuff like this is what me lose all faith&#x2F;hope&#x2F;trust in the US legal system. I used to be a patriotic and loyal citizen but after reading so many similar such stories of injustice, I no longer believe that this country’s evil and corrupt system is worth protecting.

Not a muslim and not interested in dating apps but this seems more attractive than what tinder seems to be.<p>That said, it is ridiculous that something like match can be a trademark and that the ruling is in favor of the competitor.
