Company profile

iProov, Ltd. is a privately held, UK-based technology company headquartered in London, England. Founded in 2011 by Andrew Bud, the company focuses on biometric verification and authentication. As of late 2023 / early 2024, iProov has approximately 169 to 219 employees. The company has secured significant funding, including a $70 million investment from Sumeru Equity Partners in January 2022. Its estimated annual revenue was reported as approximately £28.3 million (around $36.2 million USD) as of December 31, 2024.

iProov specializes in providing science-based biometric identity verification solutions, primarily using facial biometrics and patented "Flashmark" technology. Their offerings include remote onboarding, authentication, and liveness detection to ensure that an online individual is a real person, the right person, and authenticating in real-time, protecting against identity fraud, account takeover, and deepfake attacks. Key products include Express Liveness and Dynamic Liveness, which use controlled illumination to detect spoofing attempts. iProov serves governments, financial institutions, and global enterprises, with clients including the US Department of Homeland Security, UK Home Office, UBS, and the UK NHS login.

In terms of patent litigation, iProov, Ltd. operates as a defending operating company. The company has been named as a defendant in all three tracked cases and has not initiated any patent infringement suits as a plaintiff. This posture indicates that iProov is defending its biometric technology and business operations against infringement claims.

All three tracked cases involve FaceTec, Inc. as the plaintiff. The earliest case, FaceTec, Inc. v. iProov LTD, was filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada on December 28, 2021. The two more recent cases, FaceTec, Inc. v. Jumio Corporation et al., filed on June 14, 2024, in the California Northern District Court and its San Francisco Division, list iProov as a co-defendant alongside Jumio Corporation. This suggests a direct competitor dispute within the biometric identity verification industry.
