Name

Has the name of the company officially changed? I’m from Germany and in our trading register it’s still Smith & Nephew. Is there a register for the US market as well? Personally I think that the plus is a marketing thing and not the real name of the company now. So the article has to moved back. —DH93 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:58, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, S&N is based in England so I found the information from the british Companies House here. It’s still Smith & Nephew plc so I moved the article back. --DH93 (talk) 21:06, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
