· JUUL Device

· JUULpods [Menthol 3.0%]

· JUULpods [Menthol 5.0%]

· JUULpods [Virginia Tobacco 3.0%]

· JUULpods [Virginia Tobacco 5.0%]

This marks Juul’s return to the FDA’s list of authorized e-cigarette products, three years after the agency issued a market ban in 2022. The approved products include Juul’s core menthol and Virginia tobacco flavored pods.

 

To date, the FDA has granted authorization to e-cigarette products from four manufacturers: Logic, NJOY, Reynolds (Vuse), and now Juul. The total number of authorized products has increased from 34 to 39.

 

In July 2024, RJ Reynolds Vapor Company, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, secured FDA authorization for seven Vuse Alto products. Juul’s approval represents the first new MGO issued in over a year, signaling a potentially significant shift in the U.S. e-cigarette regulatory landscape.

 

2Firsts will continue to monitor Juul’s market reentry and its broader impact on the industry.

UPC Court of Appeal refuses to revive VMR’s European vape patent, upholding lack of inventiveness
The Unified Patent Court’s Court of Appeal declined on Dec. 29 to revive a European patent held by VMR Products LLC, upholding a finding that the patent is not inventive over earlier devices. The decision said adding a window in the vape’s outer shell to reveal the internal cartridge holding vape liquid was an obvious, routine adaptation based on an earlier U.S. patent and general knowledge.
