Historical Background
Match.com was founded in 1993 and launched its website in 1995. The service filed for its trademark in 1997 and received registration in 1999. In 2001, IAC/InterActiveCorp acquired Match.com. A 2022 UK lawsuit by users against Match Group alleged that paid subscribers were shown profiles from non-paying members and fraudulent accounts, raising regulatory questions about how online dating service marks are used in advertising.
