## Resource

This week, we are joined by Rebecca Tushnet, Faculty Co-Director and Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard Law School, to discuss one of the biggest cases in real estate — CoStar Group v. Zillow. CoStar is alleging that Zillow used nearly 47,000 of CoStar's copyrighted real estate images without license, so we asked Rebecca to help us break down the facts of the case, given her immense experience in Intellectual Property. Lee, Mike and Rebecca discusses the strength of CoStar's case as well as the strategies each party might use. If you are are in the real estate sector, this case is one to watch as it has the possibility to set precedent in New York and potentially across the country. Catch up on the facts now! You can find more of Rebecca's excellent legal analysis on her blog at tushnet.blogspot.com . And as always, you can find Lee, Mike and the BFKP team at bfkplaw.com .
