CALL TO ACTION- PATENT TROLL ABUSE

CALL TO ACTION!!!

(July 2015)

We wanted to inform you that a Call-For-Action has dropped

asking Members of Congress to SUPPORT H.R. 9, The Innovation Act.

REALTORS® across the country receive threatening demand letters and lawsuits alleging patent infringement based on the use of common business tools such as drop down menus or search alert functions on websites and the scanner function on a copier. These patent trolls buy vague patents and use them to turn everyday business practices into potential lawsuits.

H.R. 9 is scheduled for House floor consideration later this summer.   Congress must pass this common-sense comprehensive patent litigation reform to protect Main Street businesses and REALTORS® from patent troll abuse.
