The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. is suing The Hershey Co., alleging the formulation of Hershey's Ice Breaker chewing gum violates a Wrigley patent, according to candybusinessinsider, an online candy industry news source. At issue is the use of Wrigley's patent on "chewing gum containing physiological cooling agents," according to the suit filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The suit asks the court to halt the sales of Ice Breaker gums and order Hershey to pay royalties to Wrigley on past sales.
