HCMC lawsuit does claim PM IQOS combusts based on defendants own testing. As such I’m holding and buying any large dip to add to my .0001s after reading this again in the lawsuit document and the judge’s decision to grant motion to dismiss. I read this as better than granting motion without prejudice. The judge was specific that if it combusts it’s game on with the proper request submitted within 14 days as will be allowed.
This is my opinion only and I’m not a lawyer. Always do your own DD.
From the lawsuit filed by HCMC:
“Importantly, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO), two important combustion markers, were reduced by over 97%.”).) Thus, on information and belief, while Defendants assert that the Accused Infringing Product does not cause combustion of the IQOS® Tobacco Sticks, Defendants’ own testing concludes that 97%, not 100%, of the harmful chemicals associated with combustion are eliminated by the Accused Infringing Product, and the presence of 3% of the two important combustion markers nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide indicates that at least some combustion occurs when the Accused Infringing Product is operated as designed and intended by Defendants.”
