La società ha fatto causa a Philip Morris per aver copiato un suo brevetto di sigaretta elettronica...vediamo come finirà la cosa, oggi a prezzo di “saldo”
HCMC Lawsuit
Lawsuit DD HCMC vs. PM Patent Infringement
Been doing some research and here is the gist of the lawsuit. Basically, HCMC is suing Philip Morris for patent infringement on as they call it "the 170 Patent" which refers to the patent HCMC has on electric pipes, delivery systems, heating coils, etc. Allegedly PM uses their "170 technology" on the IQOS product in some way, shape and form.
Now, the more interesting piece of what I found was what HCMC is looking for in their judgement. I took this from their legal submission to the Georgia Courts...take a look:
WHEREFORE, Healthier Choices respectfully requests the Court to enter judgment in its favor and grant the following relief:
a) Entry of judgment under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) that Defendants and the manufacture, importation, offer for sale, sale, and/or use of Defendants’ IQOS® product have infringed at least one claim of the ’170 patent;
b) Entry of judgment under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) that Defendants manufacture, importation, offer for sale, sale, and/or use of Defendants’ IQOS® product actively induces and/or contributes to the infringement of at least one claim of the ’170 patent;
c) Ordering Defendants to account and pay damages adequate to compensate Plaintiff for Defendants’ infringement of the ’170 patent, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and costs and supplement damages for any continuing post-verdict or post-judgment infringement;
d) Ordering an accounting for any infringing sales not presented at trial and an award by the Court of additional damages for any such infringing sales;
e) Awarding Healthier Choices its costs and expenses incurred in this Action;
f) Granting Healthier Choices such other and further equitable relief which may be requested and to which Healthier Choices is entitled; and
g) Granting such further relief as the Court deems appropriate.
Seems pretty compelling that they might get judgement in their favor, especially because of the law firm they hired. Anyway, if you want to take a look you can find the court submission at the end of this 8k/a:
Healthier Choices Management Corp. (Form: 8-K/A, Received: 12/02/2020 08:29:12)
Will keep digging and see what I find, but as of now no numbers seem to be attached for damages, etc...
Just my .02 CPM
