UK court dismisses tit-for-tat claims in long-running PMI/BAT patents feud

Written by || 11th May 2023 || News analysis | Heated tobacco | Technology and innovation | GeographiesEurope United Kingdom

The UK High Court in London found that two of Philip Morris International (PMI)’s patents for tobacco heating technology were valid, ruling against British American Tobacco (BAT) and its subsidiary Nicoventures. However, the court also snuffed out a counter claim, ruling that BAT’s Glo heated-tobacco products did not infringe PMI’s patents.

The ruling is just the latest in a series of ongoing legal battles between the two rival tobacco companies.
