ePropertySites, LLC agrees to settle against Listing-to-Leads, LLC

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., (July 24, 2013) – ePropertySites, LLC today announced that it has settled a lawsuit against Henderson, Nev.-based Listings-To-Leads, LLC for an undisclosed amount. The lawsuit was alleging numerous copyright and trade dress violations. ePropertySites.com, a leading real estate marketing firm that enables real estate agents to produce high quality commercials and marketing materials online and in print, alleged that LTL blatantly copied ePropertySites.com website source code.

According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, LTL appears to have taken the entire source code of ePropertySites.com's property brochures and used it as its own. ePropertySites was able to prove this by viewing LTL's source code and seeing an almost exact copy of ePropertySites own HTML source code – including having ePropertySites.com URLs within the HTML code. The suit further alleges that LTL has taken ePropertySites.com's trade dress and used as its own, profiting from ePropertySites.com's time and effort.

"We are pleased to have protected our software and to have resolved this matter peacefully," said Greg Mazurek, co-founder and chief technical officer at ePropertySites.com.

ePropertySites.com spent a number of years and significant resources developing a suite of products that allows for the generation of marketing materials for individual properties. Specifically, ePropertySites is in the business of designing, coding, producing, and maintaining websites and marketing materials that allow real estate agents to produce high quality commercials to market their listings over the Internet and in print.
