Action Window & Gutter Cleaning LLC v. NW Home Maintenance LLC

If you run a business, using a competitor’s advertising as your own is not a suggested practice. Action Window & Gutter Cleaning offers numerous building-exterior cleaning services, including moss & roof cleaning. The description of this service on their website includes before and after photographs. NW Home Maintenance, doing business as Homemasters, began circulating advertisement fliers (Exhibit B below). The fliers are alleged to the before and after photographs from Action’s website, with slightly modified style and location of the text.
