ARABIAN BUSINESS – Muzz, the world's largest Muslim dating app, has accused Match Group of aggressive intimidation tactics following a lengthy legal battle. Muzz recently lost its trademark in a UK appeal and was forced to change its name. Match Group is accused of using this power to intimidate other players, especially those with fewer resources for legal defense. Despite settling in the US and rebranding from muzmatch to Muzz, the UK appeal failed. Muzz has now urged the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Match Group's anti-competitive behavior. Match Group had reportedly attempted to acquire Muzz four times and subsequently filed a complaint when they didn't get the acquisition. Muzz views these actions as a calculated attempt by Match Group to maintain its dominance by litigating smaller competitors. The legal battle has been draining for Muzz, both personally and professionally, with costs approaching $2M.
