What was filed
LRM, Inc. v. LRM Landscapes LLC, No. 3:26-cv-01657 (D. Conn.), was filed September 23, 2026. LRM says it is a Connecticut corporation based in Newtown, Connecticut. It alleges, on information and belief, that LRM Landscapes is a Connecticut company based in Danbury that was organized in April 2021. The clerk's assignment entry assigns the case to Judge Sarah F. Russell. LRM demands a jury trial.
The mark
The complaint alleges that the LRM name and mark has been used continuously since 1976, first under the name LRM Lawn Service, for site work, excavation, masonry, and related construction services within about 100 miles of Newtown, and that LRM is the successor to that business and its goodwill.
What the complaint alleges
The complaint alleges that LRM Landscapes, based about 15 to 20 miles away, offers directly competing site work services under a name that adds only the word Landscapes, and that vendors have attributed one company's transactions to the other, including a materials vendor that billed LRM for materials LRM Landscapes picked up.

Count II alleges common law trademark and trade name infringement and unfair competition under Connecticut law. Count III alleges a violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-110a et seq. The prayer asks for injunctive relief within LRM's market area, damages, punitive damages under common law or the Act, and fees. The docket shows an October 19, 2026 order on a motion for extension of time.
