Nah, their patent on acetominaphen is expired, so they have little real interest in defending it today. Slap another brand on their various meds that don’t contain it, and call it a day.
I agree they have grounds, but I was approaching it from the angle of if they would bother, or need to for that matter.
Trump is as friendly with big pharma and the big corpbrations as any politician - behind closed doors he’ll likely say or do anything to keep them happy, and they know it. Their lawyers may contact his lawyers, but we’ll likely never hear of it unless both sides decide to leverage legal/political theater to their mutual benefit somehow, at the taxpayers/consumers’ expense.
People who believe the administration and drop Tylenol for Motrin, Kenvue is happy either way.
Also they continue to own the brand that is demonized by the administration that some people will stick with precisely because this administration demonized it.
Also reap a bump of people stockpiling because they think the government might take it away.
This wouldn’t be “defending it” like a copyright claim. This would be suing for damages. It doesn’t matter how much they care about the brand. They’d sue to get money based on a loss of potential sales (future and present) and any other harm done.
I could see them not wanting to rock the boat, but I don’t think it’s a smart play. They’ll go down either way if the Fascists want, and they clearly don’t care about them enough to not damage them.
This case? The supreme court made the president untouchable as long as it can be claimed as an official act, and he said it during a white house press conference so it will be deemed an official act.
So after their entire legal department quit rather than be associated with a case against the supreme leader, they’d find an ambulance chaser to file the lawsuit and trump would look at them like south African diplomat from leathal weapon 2 and say “presidential immunity” then the FDA and CDC would launch health and safety inspections and the IRS would audit the company and every employee from the CEO to the janitor in Booger Hole, WV.
Your question is the kind of thing I expected to find out with my own comment, but the answer barely matters when it comes to whether they will take action or not. Either way its their product originally, something they invented/discovered.

They’re still constantly using their brand name, rather than the generic chemical name. I think they’d def have grounds to sue.

It’s about time we get paracetamol here in the States. It’s much more effective and has a charming accent.
I wouldn’t know, but I hope you’re right, categorically.

I mean, when the profits for all of those drugs funnel to the same company…

They are saying Tylenol, not acetaminophen aren’t they? What typically happens when you defame a brand?
You get sued out of existence for damages.
