This could be huge to all the companies out there depending on what patents Dragonite owns and the exact wording of those patents. A big tobacco company would have the resources to enforce those patents.

The trend will continue. People are getting smarter and want to quite smoking. E-Cigs are a good way to do it and still have a similar experience. The industry is growing and BT knows this. It's a market they have to get into.

Wonder if there is a way to view and patents? I would like to see the drawings/diagrams.

Now wouldn't you worry about an e-cig merger knowing the state of electronic cig. bans in the Euro network?
Hmmm.......... maybe someone there already knew the things we are just starting to uncover. Like BT controlling Government by way of Financing. Oh yes this is no doubt a world wide financial WAR. Just to bad the few really big Electronics companies are not ready to do battle.

"The company says it owns an 'extensive portfolio' of global patents and pending patents covering e-cigarette technologies."

And here comes the lawyers and endless patent infringement litigation.
