TikTok sued by rival video app platform Triller

TikTok, the viral video app beloved by Generation Z, had enough to worry about with the US government floating a possible ban. Now it needs to worry about a patent infringement lawsuit from a rival competitor too. Triller, a shortform viral video app similar to TikTok, is now suing its more popular competitor. The company alleges that TikTok has stolen one of the app’s proprietary features. The lawsuit claims that TikTok infringed on Triller’s patent for “systems and methods for creating music videos synchronized with an audio track.” More specifically the patented feature allows users to stitch together multiple videos with a single audio track attacked. Triller was granted the patent back in 2017. Read more...More about Apps, Antitrust, Patent Infringement, Tiktok, and Triller
