Tinder filed a lawsuit against the Portuguese company Swipeless and its founder, Diana Taborda, at the Lisbon Intellectual Property Court. The dating platform via mobile applications claims that there was a violation of its intellectual property rights by the Portuguese company.
Swipeless was a startup that organized dinners between strangers with the aim of promoting in-person relationships, in contrast to the encounters that traditionally happen through dating apps such as Tinder itself. This approach aimed to create real human connections rather than digital interactions.
The events organized by Swipeless took place in several Portuguese cities, including Porto, Lisbon, Braga, Coimbra, Aveiro, Viseu, and Setúbal. The dinners were held on specific days of the week, on Thursdays, Fridays, and/or Saturdays, bringing together participants who were strangers to each other.
