Oneplus may face legal problems due to its 'face id'

The arrival of the iPhone X on the market brought with it the arrival of facial recognition, called in this case Face ID. A technology that other devices are beginning to use as well. Among them OnePlus, which has incorporated it into your OnePlus 5T. But, it seems that the company could face legal problems for the use of this technology on the device.

OnePlus may face legal problems due to its 'Face ID'

The OnePlus 5T is the new version of the OnePlus 5, which includes this facial recognition among the new features it incorporates. It appears that by using this technology the company would have infringed on the SensibleVision patent. At least it's what the latter wields.

Legal issues for OnePlus

The CEO of SensibleVision has indicated that the Chinese company may have infringed a patent on his company. This would have happened only on the OnePlus 5T, but it is enough to be able to face legal problems. Although, at the moment it seems that this is not the intention of the company. They have simply pointed out the existence of this problem. And that they have not given permission for the use of these patents.

SensibleVision's patents appear to be limited to the United States. Something that greatly limits his possible success in a legal battle. So it is possible that no dispute will occur between the two companies. Since in addition, for OnePlus the American market is unimportant since they barely operate.

It remains to be seen how this story evolves, although we doubt that it will go further. Especially since patents are registered only in the United States. Something that makes a legal battle between the two companies unlikely.
