In contrast, Plaintiffs’ proposal to encompass products that do not even contain tobacco rests on mischaracterizing the specification and cherry-picking definitions, including draft legislation that was not in effect when the patent application was filed.

For example, Plaintiffs assert that the specification “expressly” states that “the tobacco product can also be ‘portions of leaves, flowers, roots, stems, or extracts thereof of any member of the genus Nicotiana,’” (id.).

In the alternative: “a seal that allows at least some of the gases created by the tobacco product to escape the container to relieve pressure” Despite repeatedly stating that the claim term “non-hermetic seal” has an “easily

Plaintiffs, by contrast, would have a jury accept “face” as encompassing several different definitions that are inconsistent with how the patents use these terms and all of which appear aimed solely at ensnaring the accused products beyond what the claims cover.

Indeed, Figure 19 that Plaintiffs reproduce (Dkt. 53 at 28) does not show whether the electrical contacts (416) are “flush with” the pod trim (410), even with Plaintiffs’ unsupported annotations.8 The lack of need for, and the incorrectness of, Plaintiffs’ proposed construction for “at the” is reinforced by their newly offered view that “flush with” also means “not removed from.” (Dkt. 53 at 28.)

The small team has helped create what Pax Labs (formerly known as Ploom) is calling "an intelligently engineered and intensely satisfying new vapor experience."

For novices or fans of clean design, it's less clunky than skeuomorphic devices like Njoys, which are built to look like a cigarette, and involves fewer parts than Blu's rechargeable model.

The most alarming report came from a survey published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, which found that e-cigarette usage was now more popular than cigarettes in middle and high schools.

Atkins, who used to smoke close to half a pack of Marlborough Reds a day, may make a good poster boy for Juul regardless.

Companies sometimes file Form D's before the round has closed and Monsees would not disclose anything about ongoing funding efforts, but he did acknowledge that Sand Hill Road hasn’t welcomed him with open wallets.

Inside a glass-walled conference room, Pax Labs CEO James Monsees leans back in his chair and tells the story of the company's newest product, Juul.

But it recently sold the Ploom brand name and some of its intellectual property to Japanese tobacco conglomerate JTI in order to escape their corporate partnership.

The Juul offers a few tics of its own: tap the side of the device twice, and the LED light on the front blinks an indication of your remaining battery.

Pax hopes it can overcome marketing muscle with quality; the only way to stand the test of time, and survive whatever regulation is coming, is to simply build something great.

And until then, those companies are free to spend millions marketing their products, and Monsees freely admits Pax can't compete with sexy Blu spreads in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, or NJOY's yearly Super Bowl ad.

Offering a powerfully satisfying vapor experience and a first-of-its-kind form factor, JUUL combines beauty and intelligent design – the hallmarks of PAX Labs – with new chemistry and patented technology to create a fundamentally different, compelling alternative to traditional cigarettes.

“There is a huge, unsatisfied demand for a product like JUUL,” said James Monsees, cofounder and CEO of PAX Labs, Inc. “The most conservative estimate is that 60 percent of smokers have tried e-cigs.

Smokers will try it and keep it, because it delivers the satisfaction they demand.” “Since launching PAX Labs, Inc. in 2007, our innovative and powerful vaporization products have consistently exceeded consumer expectation in the category and have quickly become market-leading brands,” Mr. Monsees continued.

Battery charges two times faster than the average e-cigarette Indicator light communicates battery life and pull strength Unrivaled patented technology USB charger with magnetic contact Available in four flavors: tabaac, miint, fruut, bruulé JUUL will be available for purchase in June 2015 at select stores nationwide and online at www.JUULvapor.com.

Headquartered in San Francisco, the company produces innovative premium vaporizers that provide a cleaner, modern alternative to smoking.

Under Nautilus, it is not enough that “a court can ascribe some meaning to a patent’s claims.” Rather, “[t]he claims, when read in light of the specification and the prosecution history, must provide objective boundaries for those of skill in the art.’” Interval Licensing LLC v. AOL, Inc., 766 F.3d 1364, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2014).

“[T]he non-hermetic seal can provide a limited amount of gas exchange with the ambient air while maintaining control over the egress of moisture, volatile flavors, or both (from the orally consumed tobacco product) out of the container.” Id. 3:31-35.

In some embodiments, the tobacco contained in the package device 100 may include portions of leaves, flowers, roots, stems, or extracts thereof of any member of the genus Nicotiana.

If “non-hermetic seal” is not indefinite, it should be construed in view of the specification, which repeatedly explains that the seal allows at least some of the gases created by the tobacco product to escape the container to relieve pressure.

The term “cartomizer” refers to a combined cartridge (“cart”) and atomizer (“omizer”): “[T]he “cartomizer may use heat, ultrasonic energy, or other means to atomize/vaporize a material, such as a liquid solution (i.e. an ‘e-Liquid’), which may be based on propylene glycol, or glycerin, and may include taste and fragrance ingredients,” and “[t]he result is an aerosol mist.” Id. 1:29-34.
