IBM sues Zillow over multiple charges of patent infringement
“Rather than build their business on their own technologies, Zillow has appropriated the inventions of the [patents named in the lawsuit],” the complaint reads. “The website, www.zillow.com, and the associated mobile applications under Zillow’s control use the technology claimed by the [patents named in the lawsuit], to provide customers access to real estate listings and provide advertisements and other services for real estate agents.”
Feels a little different than the normal “patent troll” shake down. Lawsuits are always part of the game but Zillow has enough to deal with right now.
