After nearly eight years of litigation and three appeals, real estate professionals were handed a win in a landmark patent infringement case.

The Innovation Act (H.R. 9) was re-introduced in the House and would require plaintiffs to disclose who the owner of a patent is before a lawsuit is filed and demand that plaintiffs explain why they are suing a particular defendant in their court pleadings. NAR is a member of the ‘United for Patent Reform' coalition supporting such legislation.
