L-1 Identity Solutions is being sued by fellow biometrics developer Identity Verification Solutions (IVS) for infringement on a patent titled “Verification Server for Use in Authentication Networks,” a server that handles biometric authentication, according to a Cipher Law Group article.

Specifically, IVS alleges that L-1 is infringing on the process language in the patent that reads “improvements in the efficiency of the process of authenticating users on networks by implementing verification servers.” IVS, who received the patent after four different companies had held it previously, is seeking monetary damages and an injunction that would stop L-1 from engaging the infringing aspects of their solutions.
