Relationship status between Tinder, Bumble? It’s complicated

There’s no love between similar matchmaking apps Tinder and Bumble, as the former is now suing the latter over patent infringement, Fortune magazine reported Monday.  

Match Group, the company that owns Tinder, has filed a lawsuit in a district court in Texas, alleging that Bumble Trading Inc. infringed on two Tinder patents: “matching process system and method,” and “display screen or portion thereof with a graphical user interface of a mobile device,” the magazine reported.

Two of Bumble’s co-creators previously worked at Tinder and allegedly stole confidential information, which they used to create the rival app, the magazine reported.
