It is common to see one smartphone manufacture suing one another claiming to be the original creators of these technologies. This state is the reason why many companies refer to file for the pattern long before their smartphone production phase begins. Notably, Apple is on the list of the most targeted company.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Apple has faced another lawsuit. In details, a Korean named First Face has sued Apple for violating their fingerprint technology. Notably, they claim that they own the patent of the fingerprint scanner, built in the home button of the smartphone, a.k.a. Apple&#8217;s Touch ID. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2018\/04\/12\/touch-id-patent-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firstface<\/a> co-CEO Jung Jae-lark has been the one to raise the accusations of the technology plagiarism. According to him, their company had filed the patent back in 2011.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/iphone-fingerprint-e1513967172735.webp 640w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/iphone-fingerprint-e1513967172735-300x201.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/iphone-fingerprint-e1513967172735.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/iphone-fingerprint-e1513967172735.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/iphone-fingerprint-e1513967172735-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79926 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Apple\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he stated that their patent includes the mobile fingerprint authentication system. This location is where the scanner placed in the home button of the device, in multiple countries, such as Japan, Korea, and the US. However, there is a high chance that this is an attempt to make some easy cash out of Apple. Previously, the US tech company has come out of another lawsuit from another patent troll. Besides, Apple has to pay another $500 million to VirnetX Holding Corp. The lawsuit was about the infringing patents related to FaceTime, VPN on Demand and iMessage.<\/p>\n<h3>What should be Apple&#8217;s solution to this lawsuit?<\/h3>\n<p>Do you think that Apple&#8217;s action of paying a large sum of money for these &#8220;patent troll&#8221; is sufficient?
