2ONE Labs Prevails in Trademark Dispute against IMB Zone Brand
US nicotine pouch brand 2ONE Labs wins preliminary injunction in trademark dispute with Imperial Tobacco's Zone brand.

On December 23rd, the American nicotine pouch brand 2ONE Labs announced on its official website that the brand, in partnership with distributor Performance Plus Marketing, had achieved a favorable preliminary injunction (PI) ruling in a trademark dispute with the Imperial Tobacco brand Zone. According to a court order dated December 20th, 2024, Zone's nicotine pouches are prohibited from being shipped to trade partners in the United States.

 

The CEO of 2ONE Labs, Vincent Schuman, stated that

 

This ruling is significant as it prohibits Imperial Tobacco from continuing to sell Zone nicotine pouches in the United States until the ongoing 2ONE trademark lawsuit is resolved.

 

According to the judge's ruling, the defendant (Imperial) is prohibited from selling oral nicotine products with the Bullseye trademark or any similar symbol. (Case number: CV 24-08124-MWF(Ex) Title: 2ONE Labs Inc. et al v. ITG Brands, LLC et al)

 

We are pleased that the court has made the correct decision to approve this PI. This is an extraordinary remedy for 2ONE and sets the foundation for their victory in the trademark infringement lawsuit against Imperial Tobacco.
