AVD Prevails Over China-based CCELL in USITC Cannabis Vaping Dispute

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The US International Trade Commission on Monday ruled definitively in favor of US cannabis vaporization leader AVD (Advanced Vapor Devices) in a year-long patent infringement investigation initiated by Chinese e-cigarette maker Shenzhen Smoore Technology Limited, which owns CCELL.

The Commission affirmed an administrative law judge’s February 2023 finding of no violation of CCELL�s outmoded e-cigarette patents. Under the ruling, there is no violation by AVD’s cartridges, components, or products.

“Today is an enormous victory for the US cannabis vaping sector,” stated AVD Co-Founder and CEO Alex Kwon. “AVD’s disruptive technology, reliability, and exceptional service will enable us to safeguard our rights and innovate for our clients’ benefit. The victory demonstrates that justice has been served for our industry and consumers, and fair competition will prevail despite CCELL’s baseless legal tactics.”

“We are grateful to the International Trade Commission for exposing CCELL’s bullying of US companies,” said Michael Brosgart, AVD chief operating officer. “AVD shouldered the burden of this litigation because we are committed to our industry, and believe consumers deserve the highest quality products. We can’t wait to share our upcoming innovations.”
