Item 8 Other Events.

 

On November 22, 2024, Healthier Choices Management Corp. (“HCMC”) received a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) denying an appeal of HCMC of a decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) relating to the inter partes review of an HCMC patent. The Board had ruled that the previously granted HCMC patent that served as the basis of HCMC’s patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. was not patentable and denied of HCMC’s request to amend the claims if invalidity of the patent was affirmed.

 

HCMC has the right to seek rehearing by the panel of the Federal Circuit that ruled on the appeal or rehearing by the entire Federal Circuit. HCMC is evaluating these options. If HCMC elects not to pursue such a rehearing, it will be required to dismiss the patent infringement action against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. pending in the district court for the Northern District of Georgia.
