Tinder sues threesome-finding app 3nder over name similarities

Tinder is reportedly suing 3nder, a rival dating app targeted at people who want threesomes, over the similarity between their names. The company claims to have been "ordered to immediately cease operations" by Tinder, which reportedly believes the similarity between the apps' names could cause confusion for users. In a statement, 3nder said it was "confident" none of its members would ever confuse the two apps, and drew attention to Tinder's lack of ownership of the '-nd(e)r' suffix, used by similar services like Grindr and Adult Friend Finder. Dimo Trifonov, the founder of 3ndr, said: "Our mission and our values could not be more distinct from those of Tinder." "With so many sexualities and relationship structures left out of Tinder and the Match Group [Tinder's parent company] offerings, there is room for all of us."
