The Amrock vs HouseCanary judgement was ordered to be retried on Appeal last year and this year the Texas Supreme Court killed the case.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.com&#x2F;texaslawyer&#x2F;2021&#x2F;07&#x2F;19&#x2F;texas-supreme-court-decision-is-a-win-for-first-amendment-rights&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.com&#x2F;texaslawyer&#x2F;2021&#x2F;07&#x2F;19&#x2F;texas-supreme-cou...</a><p>It&#x27;s an important case, since the huge award might encourage malicious lawsuits in the future. It&#x27;s sobering to learn just how bad on technical issues a case can be and still win: HouseCanary&#x27;s own expert witness testified that Amrock&#x27;s model did not have any of their own code in it and nothing HouseCanary actually ahared with Amrock could have been useful in building the product they did.
