Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane”) (NASDAQ: GNLN) and Jupiter
Research, LLC (“Jupiter”), a subsidiary of TILT Holdings Inc.
(“TILT”) (NEO: TILT) (OTCQX: TLLTF), are supporting Shenzhen Smoore
Technology Limited (“Smoore Technology”) in a complaint filed with
the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) to defend
against certain intellectual property infringements of CCELL®
branded vape products.
Smoore Technology is a global innovator and
pioneer in vaporizing technology with more than 10 years of
expertise in designing, manufacturing and distributing vape
hardware. Its CCELL vape cartridges, produced in GMP and
ISO-certified facilities, have contributed to the growth of the
market. Both Greenlane and Jupiter are authorized distributors of
CCELL branded vape hardware and associated products in the United
States.
In recent years, several vape brands, importers
and retailers have distributed products that infringe upon CCELL’s
patent and trademark rights. Through the complaint filed with the
ITC, Smoore Technology, Greenlane and Jupiter have requested that
the ITC institutes an investigation into those intellectual
property infringements. The complaint requests that the ITC issues
an exclusion order to block the import of infringing products into
the U.S. The requested remedy will help protect the market and
customers from lower quality infringing products that do not meet
the CCELL brand’s exacting standards.
“Jupiter is proud of its longstanding
relationship with Smoore, and we believe strongly that our
cooperative R&D initiatives have proven beneficial not only to
both companies, but to our consumers and distribution partners as
well,” said Gary Santo, CEO of TILT. “The filing of this case is an
important and necessary step toward protecting not only the
patented intellectual property surrounding the CCELL® technology,
but also the brand’s integrity and reputation for delivering safe,
quality products.”
"Our industry is unfortunately no stranger to
knock-offs in recent years, as seen most vividly during the illicit
vape market crisis of late 2019,” said Nick Kovacevich, Greenlane’s
Chief Executive Officer. “Similar to that crisis, we are now seeing
an influx of copycat and inferior products being manufactured and
distributed in the marketplace that are not only blatantly
infringing intellectual property rights, but even more alarming,
are harming the consumers and our industry as a whole. Many of
these infringers are pretending to be like CCELL and to uphold the
highest standards of quality, but they are misleading and
endangering the public. We will always put the health and safety of
the consumer first and will do everything in our power to ensure a
safe, legal, fair, and trusted marketplace for all vape products,
which is why we feel a deep responsibility to take action.”
