There are no holes in that Swiss! I would think that having the generally good feelings associated with the Red Cross sort of given over the J&J by unconscious transference would be a good thing. Justice,

You're on a roll tonight. This issue was a tricky one: you always, always defend your patents, trade marks, copyrights and service marks. On the other hand it is a PR disaster, and all the spinning in the world isn't going to make it go away. Kinda like suing a developing country for non-comliance with WTO treaty agreements on IP and compulsory licensing. Ouch, Justice. You’re on a roll tonight.

So, by rights, the Swiss should be suing J&J (note the ICRC logo is the Swiss flag with the colors reversed). Connecting with the word-play thread, it's a case of bait and Swiss.
