Note that the defendants include blu cig, who is being acquired by Lorillard, and Spark Industries LLC- the manufacturer of the e-cig exclusively marketed by Kretek. All I can surmise with respect to blu cig is that the settlement that was announced in April- just prior to the Lorillard announcement- was a settlement that was exclusive to the patents granted in November of 2010- but I cannot be sure of that. Also note that both Vapor Corp. and NJOY have been sued under the new patents- after having been sued under the earlier ones, as well.

1. Barjan LLC- markets Mistic E-cigarette
2. CB Distributors- markets 21st Century Smokes E-cigarette
3. Finiti Branding Group- markets FIN E-cigarette
4. LOEC, Inc.- does business as blu Cig!!!
5. Logic Technology Development Co.- markets Logic E-cigarette
6. Nicotek Development Co.- markets Metro E-cigarettes
7. The Safe Cig LLC- markets The Safe Cig E-cigarette
8. Sottera Inc.- markets NJOY E-cigarettes
9. Spark Industries LLC- markets CIG20 E-cigarettes- a private label brand exclusive through Kretek, a large, independent tobacco distributor
10. Vapor Corp.- markets Fifty-One, Krave, VaporX, EZ Smoker, Green Puffer, Americig, Fumare, Hookah Stix and Smoke Star- E-cigarettes

Oh my.....

Well no wonder they need to set up an office in the states...

If I never see a dime of ROI here, the story has been very fun to watch. Suing everybody for a product that you don't currently market in the US. This is classic cat and mouse...

Big Analog will squash Ruyan like a grape, or will they ??? They had to know this was coming right ?
How much longer until the next R/S ???? Where's my fuggin royalty cheque ????

A Chinese company holds all the valuable US patents to ecigs...

A Japanese/Euro pharm company is the only one in phase 3 US FDA trials for cannabis as medicine...

Such a great country we live in where they tell us it's no good and then grant patents and approvals to foreigners.... Makes me wonder who's really pulling the strings sometimes. It also makes me wonder why I salute our Flag.... I digress.

Thank you so much for the great find Mr. K .
Nice sites too.... I've been working so much lately that I haven't had time for my DD on my losing investments. When I get a chance I'll put together something from pacer......

Go DGTLF.... There's still a flicker of hope. I might get an account and buy the 329 now. Might find my way out of this Chinese basement yet lol......
