According to the complaint, P&G sued Team Technologies, a distributor of CLIO’s whitening dental strips, in July 2012, for infringement. CLIO seeks to have the patents invalidated or a judgment that CLIO’s products do not infringe any claim of P&G’s patents. No similar cases have been filed by CLIO in the past.
