Zillow is fighting Compass’s attempt to block its “Coming Soon” policy, which prevents listings already publicly marketed elsewhere from being posted on Zillow. Compass argues this policy harms them and unfairly benefits Zillow. Zillow argues its policy is necessary for maintaining accurate listing data and preventing manipulation of market activity, and that preventing its enforcement would disrupt its business. The outcome hinges on the judge’s assessment of whether Compass can demonstrate irreparable harm and the policy’s overall impact on competition.
