“British American Tobacco is suing two of its longtime rivals, Altria Group and Philip Morris International, for copyright infringement. In the lawsuit filed in a Virginia federal court on Thursday, British American alleges that certain features of IQOS, a smoking device made by Philip Morris and distributed in the U.S. by Altria, infringe on its patents. British American makes a similar product called Glo, which, like IQOS, heats tobacco rather than burning it. British American says it has also filed a similar complaint with the International Trade Commission.”
