GoKawiilBASF's trinamiX sues Apple, claims Face ID violates seven patents
trinamiX, a sensor technology spin-off of BASF, has filed a lawsuit accusing Apple of infringing seven patents covering skin-detection methods used to defeat spoofing attempts against Face ID. The suit targets recent iPhone models from the 15 through 17 lineup, the iPhone Air, and several iPad Pro generations, arguing Apple copied technology that distinguishes real human skin from masks or photos using reflected light patterns.
