The lawsuit, filed on May 2 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, alleges that the Listerine strips infringe P&G patents related to the tooth whitening active ingredient and delivery systems.

P&G has asked the court to stop J&J and its company, McNeil-PPC, from making, selling, and importing allegedly infringing products.[ie, P&G is seeking an injunction; it also wants damages]

The IHT reported: The case is one of several lawsuits P&G has filed against competitors in the past year over product, packaging and marketing disputes.
