The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) voted to institute an investigation of certain disposable vaporizer devices. The products at issue in the investigation are described in the Commission’s notice of investigation.
The investigation is based on a complaint filed by RAI Strategic Holdings, Inc of Winston-Salem, NC, R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company of Winston-Salem, NC, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company of Winston-Salem, NC, RAI Services Company of Winston-Salem, NC on June 11, 2024 and supplemented on June 12, 2024 and July 1, 2024. The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States and sale of certain disposable vaporizer devices that infringe a patent asserted by the complainants. The complainants request that the USITC issue a general exclusion order, or in the alternative a limited exclusion order, and cease and desist orders.
