In a recent development within the legal sector, biometric security firm FaceTec has appealed to a California federal judge to disqualify Morrison & Foerster LLP from representing identity verification platform Jumio in an ongoing patent dispute. The argument centers on the claim that Morrison & Foerster’s representation is allegedly “tainted” due to the involvement of previously disqualified co-counsel Perkins Coie LLP. FaceTec’s move adds a layer of complexity to the already intricate legal proceedings surrounding intellectual property rights.
