The Info / Data here is Relevant to the $PM / $HCMC case - follow with me

I apologies for not expanding my viewpoint on that post I thought what I was seeing was very obvious yet everyone missed the point of me posting the 2018 article I will explain. (also this is long / rushed sorry I'm also working while making this <3)

(a lot of this is IMO speculative moving forward use your own head and judgment and compare all info as you see fit)

See I went back to the past to the beginning of the case and the release date of the q-cup(through $MJNE and $HCMC deal) vs the IQOS release($PM)

and also that PM's own defense is that they were unaware of $HCMC holding the existing patent.

but these articles are proof that the existence of HCMC's patented technology was highly sourced public knowledge that the patent technology was not only existing but in the media / in sales circulation and being viewed as VERY VALUABLE and profitable by multiple investment and financial media sources.

I would say that is incentive / Motive for $PM to steal the technology and push production and advertising in order take a starting lead position in a new and expanding market branch (vape pens vs cigarettes')

IMO they $HCMC were essentially targeted by PM (a cigarettes' / tobaccos company) < to syphon profits way from the Q-CUP and introduce the IQOS to steal the market leader position and also at the same time stop $PM from losing billions in tobaccos sales to people phasing out of cigarettes' and into vape pens like the Q-cup, by shifting their tobacco customers to the stolen IQOS vape system. at the same time then injecting stolen profits that would have been losses to competitors via cigarettes/ tobacco

(PM's own definition of their company - Philip Morris International Inc. is a Swiss-American multinational cigarette and tobacco manufacturing company, with products sold in over 180 countries. The most recognized and best selling product of the company is Marlboro.


Now with patent infringement, potential sales / customer base lost, legal fees the case and the public media mess...

IMO that's proof of irreparable damage to $HCMC.



Here is lots of proof that the $HCMC Q-CUP patent was big time public knowledge before the release of the IQOS system and also that it was a smash success big things yada yada and then you will see $PM moved foreword anyway.

LAS VEGAS, NV, Sept. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MJ Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: MJNE) (“MJNE” or “Company”), a leader in the Nevada cannabis market is expecting an initial shipment of 800,000 Q-Cups, a cutting edge patented and patent pending cannabis and CBD delivery system. The product is scheduled for delivery on October 15, 2018.

In August of this year MJ Holdings entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with the designer and patent holder of the Q-Cup, Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTC Pink:HCMC) for the entire state of Nevada.

The successful marketing of this quartz-based cannabis delivery technology will be done through MJNE’s distribution partnership with Focus Distribution. Focus, the leading distributor throughout the state of Nevada, exclusively represents several existing Nevada cannabis licenses that can immediately utilize this revolutionary technology. Focus currently distributes to every dispensary in Nevada.

The Q-Cup comes as a pre-filled cannabis dispensing unit that allows the user to experience a more reliable product delivery while still having the convenience of a disposable cup. “We are excited about the prospects that the Q-Cup will have in delivering an enriched user experience while creating a greater value for the consumer” Paris Balaouras, the Company’s CEO said.

The Q-Cups come pre-filled with approximately 50 milligrams of cannabis concentrate that will deliver 8-10 “hits” per cup. The suggested retail price of the Q-Cups will range between $8 and $10 based on the brand and the THC/CBD potency

Pot Stock MJ Holdings Soars 50% on ‘Q-Cup’ Dispensing Unit Order



On August 13, 2018 (the “Effective Transaction Date”), the Company closed the transaction contemplated by an Exclusive Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”). The Agreement is between the Company and Healthier Choices Management Corp., a designer and seller (the “Seller” or “HCMC”) of a series of integrated products, all of which are designed to be utilized to consume cannabis products by vaporizing oil and other related products (the “Goods”). The Company has the exclusive right to distribute the Goods in the territory of Nevada (the “Territory”). The Distribution Agreement further requires the Company to advertise and market the Goods in the Territory.


Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company purchased certain of the Goods from the Seller and paid the sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000). The funds were transferred to HCMC on the Effective Transaction Date.


>> The Seller has applied for and received patent protection in respect of one of the products. <<<<<

HCMC HAS ALREADY BEEN SELLING MILLIONS OF $ WORTH OF "PATENT PROTECTED" Q-CUP HARD PRODUCT. tracked from a closed sale in AUG 2018 before IQOS was released yet... you can look it up I had to...
TRACKABLE SALES AND DOLLARS ON A HARD PRODUCT ALREADY PRODUCED AND IN CIRCULATION IS ALOT DIFFERENT THAN TAKING SOMEONES PATENT IDEA<<<

I THINK YOU MISSED THE TOTAL POINT OF THE POST TBH GOOD THING YOU ARE NOT PM'S or HCMC's LAWYER

CHECK THE DATES

$PM is basically stating (in a bunch of legal terms)they didn't even know HCMC had the patented technology or that it existed.

I just disproved PM's Stance and proved their negligence as I can present multiple dated examples of public acess information multiple sources from where I am right now stating it was public knowledge on a high level of wht was going on with that patent in question
PM's lawyers failed IMO right out the gate.

HEALTHIER CHOICES MANAGEMENT CORP. ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF ITS U.S. PATENTED Q-CUP TECHNOLOGY WITH NEVADA INDUSTRY LEADERS MJNE AND FOCUS DISTRIBUTION

11/02/2018 5 <note the date
HOLLYWOOD, FL, Nov. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTC Pink: HCMC) (“HCMC or the “Company”) is proud to announce, the Nevada product launch event of its patented Q-Cup™ technology with MJ Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: MJNE) and Focus Distribution, both leaders in the Nevada Cannabis market, under their proprietary Highland Brothers brand. The product launch will occur on November 4, 2018 and comes on the heels of HCMC being issued three U.S. Patents related to its Q-Cup™ technology.


The Q-Cup™ is a small, quartz cup, which is partially filled with either cannabis or CBD concentrate (approximately 50mg). The Q-Cup™ is then inserted into the patented Q-Cup™ Tank or Globe, that heats the cup from the outside without coming in direct contact with the solid concentrate material. This Q-Cup™ technology provides significantly more efficiency and an “on the go” solution for consumers who prefer to vape concentrates either medicinally or recreationally.
Jeff Holman, Chief Executive Officer of HCMC, commented “We are excited to have market leading partners in MJNE and Focus Distribution; as they bring a multi-faceted approach to distributing and marketing this cannabis-related Quartz based delivery technology into an incredibly strategic territory.”
MJNE and Focus Distribution have secured an entire 140 room hotel in Las Vegas for the launch event and will host several hundred of the most significant and influential vendors in the Nevada market cannabis space.

<<<(Always second and chasing $HCMC)


THIS ISNT A PUMP I WOULD USE THIS AS EVIDENCE IN COURT OF THE PRODUCT IN QUESTIONS VALUE AND ALSO HCMC HAVING A HARD CIRCULATING PRODUCT IN THE MARKET EVEN BEFORE THE IQOS SYSTEM... HEY COZEN IF YOU READ THIS FEEL FREE TO POINT THAT OUT...YES THT IS FROM A LITTLE BIT AGO BUT CHECK OUT THE DATES I'M POINTING OUT THE PROOF THAT HCMC HAD THE MARKET AND THE PRODUCT AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING FIRST AND $PM WAS LATE TO THE SHOW EVERY STEP OF THE WAY...



W/E BASH AWAY <3


The Distribution Agreement is subject to standard termination provisions; however, the Seller has the option to terminate the Distribution Agreement, on 30 days’ written notice, if the Company fails to purchase a sufficient minimum quantity of Goods from the Seller. The Company has met its obligations for the first year of the Agreement. Thereafter, for each renewal term, the Company’s minimum purchase obligation for the Goods is $500,000, subject to good faith negotiation at the end of each contract year. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Seller granted to the Company a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, and non-sub licensable fully paid license agreement. The Company and HCMC entered into a Termination and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) dated November 15, 2019. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, HCMC agreed to (i) make an initial purchase from the Company of 500,000 Q-Cups at $0.125 per Q-Cup for an aggregate purchase price of $62,500 (the “Initial Purchase”), and (ii) purchase up to a total of 1,600,000 Q-Cups (inclusive of the Initial Purchase) on an as needed basis at the same price of $0.125 at any time after the Effective Date of the Termination Agreement.

THIS IS RELIVANT TO THE CASE AND ALSO POSITIVE FOR $HCMC AS IT SHOWS THEY HAVE ALOT GOING FOR THEM AS A COMPANY + THE CAPABILITY AND COMPLETION FOR Q-CUP SALES OUTPUT AND THAT THEY HAD THE COMPLETE FINISHED PRODUCT IN MARKET CIRCULATION ALREADY AND NOT JUST THE PATENET.

IF I WAS COZEN I WOULD RIP THAT A NEW ONE...

IT IS SO MUCH IS SO MUCH WORSE IN COURT FOR COPYRIGHT Infringement if the infringement is of A PATENTED CIRCULATING PRODUCT vs a patent in idea/concept form. (LAWYERS BACK ME UP HERE?)

you can prove loss of sales loss of $ you can prove ALOT due to the transaction between MJNE AND $HCMC

MAKES FOR A MUCH STRONGER CASE IMO

BECASUE OF THE DATES AND THE TRACKED SALE OF Q-CUP VAPES BEFORE $PM HAD EVEN RELEASED THEIR PRIDUCT (NOW IN QUESTION IN QOURT) WAS CLEARLY SECOND ON THE MARKET (IMO)



On August 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with HCMC to acquire 1,500,000,000 shares of their common stock in exchange for 85,714 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the stock exchanged by each party on the date of exchange was $150,000. The number of shares exchanged represents less than a 5% ownership interest for each company, and the shares issued are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The Company recorded the 85,714 shares of HCMC common stock as an available for sale security and intends to mark the value to market each reporting period based on the current market value of its held shares in HCMC. As of the transaction date, the price as quoted on the OTC Markets for HCMC common stock was $0.0001 per share. To date, the Company has not sold any of the shares it received under the Agreement.



HCMC WAS ON THE MARKET 1st every step of the way...

call me a pumper w/e call me a lawyer w/e call me a basher w/e call me sexy ...stay for a drink?

Its allLLL speculative obviously lol(ITS THE STOCK MARKET COMMON NOW!) *shrug I'm just seeing things

taking a lot of my free weekend time to do so too so ^_^

check the dates HCMC was always in front even though they were the smaller company with less hype.

IMO There is no way $PM can get off and claim they were not aware of HCMC as a direct competitor in a similar market...(imo that is just silly) ,
If they do then it's probable to be gross negligence on their end. (imo)


to get an idea of where this will go into the future I'm looking back into the past. Tht is what all the legal teams will be doing so that is what I am doing.



So that is why I posted an old post I went all the way back to the start...to try to get a full picture idea of how this will all finish.
That is what the judge and legal teams are going to be doing...
That is what I am doing

$HCMC has this in the bag I think...(speculative this is my opinion)


(these are my own speculations use your own logic and perception in all things)


HCMC TO THE MOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
