First CIVIX Payment Complete

Under the terms of an agreement between NAR and CIVIX-DDI, LLC, MLSs may purchase licenses under the CIVIX patents to avoid claims of patent infringement. NAR had to obtain payment for MLS license agreements covering 275,938 subscribers for a total payment to CIVIX of at least $2.5 million. NAR reached the first milestone of the $2.5 million. All associations/MLSs applying for a patent license by June 16 will receive a license. Look for your license to arrive in the mail after July 4. Those still interested in a license can apply to be in the second group by submitting the application form, payment, and license agreement to NAR no later than July 11.  Click here for more information.
