When Match Group (fka IAC Personals) bought OKCupid (7 years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission.

They had patented each and every stupidity they thought (in USA), and now it seems the patenting era had reached an end.
Even Badoo bought HotORNot for USD 20 Million
