Home Depot Inc. is using Oakleaf Waste Managment LLC in Georgia for trademark infringement and false advertising.  According to the suit, Atlanta-based Home Depot in October 2006 inked a deal with East Oakleaf where the waste company would offer Home Depot’s customers dumpster rentals. Under the Home Depot Dumpsters Rentals Program, customers could contact Oakleaf through a number Home Depot approved or through an approved Home Depot website. In December 2009, Home Depot ended the arrangement with Oakleaf and finished winding down the program in April 2010. But even though Oakleaf is no longer a contractor for Home Depot, the suit alleges the company is continuing to use, without permission, Home Depot’s name, famous orange logo and other trademarks to advertise, promote and sell Oakleaf’s own dumpster business.

Home Depot is seeking a permanent injunction and monteary damages, including profits Oakleaf made by improperly using Home Depot trademark.
