iShow.com, Inc. won a $5.5 million-dollar jury verdict Monday against home building giant Lennar Corporation for willful trademark infringement on its “NextGen Home Experience®” Federal Trademark.
“We are very pleased the jury found in favor of iShow in our case against Lennar” said Paul Barnett, CEO of iShow. “It’s been 2 and a half years coming and several hundred thousand dollars spent on the legal process,” added Barnett.

“Lennar filed for their ‘NextGen’ trademark in 2011 and we tried everything we could to come to an amicable understanding,” stated Barnett, “And we are always open to further conversations now that our trademark has been upheld.”
iShow was represented by Mark Walters of Lowe Graham Jones PLLC located in Seattle, WA.
