By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

Here in Texas we are very fortunate to have a fabulous and strong Association of Realtors® - TAR / Texas Association of Realtors®. 

 

 

 

 

Their latest victory for our industry is beating back a Troll.  As reported by TAR...

 

TAR wins case that protects you from frivolous patent claims A patent owned by Uber Technologies Inc. that had been used to bring patent-infringement lawsuits against Texas real estate firms has been invalidated, thanks to legal efforts by the Texas Association of REALTORS®.

Hi Lisa - this is becoming a problem and not only here.  Glad this frivolous claim was shut down.

Hello Grant Schneider 

Isn't it ridiculous what people will try to pull? This time, they chose the wrong state to mess with!

Morning Lisa.

Always good to hear about a winner for our business.  I do hope Uber had to pay the attorneys costs for TAR

Great news, Lisa... TAR did a masterful job in this case and hopefully this sets a trend for other associations.
