The commission partly affirmed Judge David P. Shaw’s initial determination that Eonsmoke LLC infringed patents for Juul’s electronic nicotine delivery systems. In his November determination, Judge Shaw said “The evidence shows that there is direct competition between participating respondents’ accused products and Juul system, which will result in continuing injury to [Juul] in the form of displaced sales.”
