    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.

      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.
