A New Jersey Company – Juul Labs – Filed Multiple Lawsuits against Several Chinese Companies for Infringement on Four Patents It Acquired (Oct. 3, 2018, U.S. District Courts in California and New Jersey)

Juul Labs, Inc., a Delaware incorporated company having its principal place of business in New Jersey (“Juul”), previously acquired from the inventors four patents on “Cartridge for Use with a Vaporizer Device”, “Vaporization Device Systems and Methods”, and “Vaporizer Apparatus”, which all were issued by the USPTO August through September 2018. On October 3, 2018, soon after its acquisition of these patents, Juul filed at least three separate patent infringement lawsuits, all on the same day, against several defendants, many of which are Chinese companies, arguing that the defendants’ certain products had infringed its patents, praying for immediate enjoinment and restraint from manufacturing, distributing, and selling of the defendants’ products, as well as damages awards. Juul filed these three lawsuits separately in the federal district courts in California and New Jersey.
