Louisiana-Pacific Corp. v. James Hardie Building Prods.

Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

COOK, Circuit Judge.

*516 Can termites, woodpeckers, and other pests damage engineered-wood building siding? According to the district court, maybe. And that "maybe" isn't enough to justify granting Louisiana-Pacific a preliminary injunction to stop its competitor from advertising Louisiana-Pacific's siding as vulnerable to pest damage. Louisiana-Pacific needed to show that it would likely succeed in proving the advertisement unambiguously false under the Lanham Act and the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. It did not, so we affirm the district court's denial of Louisiana-Pacific's motion.
