Also, it’s not J&J filing for bankruptcy, but a spin-off subsiduary that they created after the fact and have given all the IP rights to.
General Motors tried this same garbage tactic to get out of paying for their liability with mercury switches. General Motors declared bankruptcy, then created a NEW company called…General Motors. They transferred all the assets from old GM to new GM, and left all the liabilities with old GM. It took years, but a number of states sued and got a settlement.
