$Healthier Choices Management Corp.(HCMC)$转: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
