Patent Law

Coffee patent wars over?

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

There is a quote:

Steve Jemison, P&G's chief legal officer, said: "We are delighted by the terms of this settlement and will not hesitate to do what it takes to continue to protect our intellectual property."

At the time the settlement was reached, J. M. Smucker owned Folgers: In November 2008, P&G completed the sale of its Folgers Coffee business to The JM Smucker Company.
