A dental company sued a law firm claiming that certain statements on the law firm's website constituted false advertising, trademark infringement, cyberpiracy, and defamation, among other allegations. The law firm filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that its statements were protected by the state anti-SLAPP law. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, however, and denied the law firm's motion, finding that the anti-SLAPP law did not apply because the statements on the law firm's website were "commercial speech".
