(Promo) Things are getting heated in the office products category as Boise Cascade sued Staples earlier this month, claming that its marketing slogan was stolen.

Boise Cascade filed suit April 2 in U.S. District Court in Boise, ID, claiming that the Staples phrase, “Staples. That was easy” infringes on its slogan “Boise. It couldn’t be easier” which received a trademark last summer, according to news reports.

Boise Cascade has been using the phrase in its Boise Office Solutions division to market products since 1998. The Staples slogan debuted with a new ad campaign in February.

The lawsuit asks that Staples discontinue using the slogan, to destroy materials that incorporate it and to pay yet-to-be-determined damages.
