J&J Sues Red Cross over Trademark Breach
Red Cross and health care giant Johnson & Johnson shared the red cross icon of relief for more than a century. But J&J sued the Red Cross for trademark infringement. Back in 1895, J&J struck an agreement with the Red Cross to use the symbol on its commercial products. Now J&J says the Red Cross broke that agreement by licensing the red cross (displayed on battlefields and in natural disasters worldwide) to for-profit companies that sell medical equipment.
