The National Association of REALTORS® issued a Call For Action to support H.R.9, The Innovation Act, legislation that would close loopholes in the legal system that currently allow patent trolls to target REALTORS® for using common business technologies, such as dropdown menus and search functions on websites, or scan-to-email technologies found in every office scanner.
Patent trolls exist solely to purchase old patents and to use the threat of expensive lawsuits to extort money from legitimate businesses. To participate in this Call For Action, visit the REALTOR Action Center.
