Kaival Brands (OTCQB: KAVL): Bidi® Vapor Announces Issuance of New U.S. Patents

GRANT, Fla., July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KAVL) ("Kaival Brands," the "Company," or "we"), the exclusive global distributor of products manufactured by Bidi Vapor, LLC ("Bidi Vapor"), today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") has issued two additional U.S. patents to Bidi^® Vapor: Patents Nos. 11,064,735 and 11,064,736. Patent Nos. 11,013,261 and 10,932,491, which were previously pending, have also been granted.

"We like to say that all Bidi^® Vapor products are developed in a scientific laboratory, not a marketing meeting, and these new patent approvals are further evidence of that," says Niraj Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Kaival Brands and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bidi^® Vapor. The first patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,064,735, is directed toward portions of the Bidi^®? Stick's housing that assist with feedback to the user and control of the device. The second patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,064,736, claims the arrangement of Bidi's proprietary heating component, which heats the Bidi^® Stick's flavored liquid in a manner providing a fresher and more consistent experience than other products on the market. 

"These newly-issued patents add valuable coverage to our growing patent portfolio and in our opinion represent the future of the electronic nicotine delivery systems, or ENDS, market. Our products are created from a blank slate, which we believe results in a proprietary hardware and formulation system that delivers a class-leading consumer experience" says Mr. Patel. "With the issuance of Bidi^® Vapor's third and fourth patents, Kaival Brands is proud to continue to be the exclusive global distributor of all products manufactured by Bidi^® Vapor" adds Eric Mosser, Chief Operating Officer of Kaival Brands.

Bidi^® Vapor's portfolio includes two other U.S. patents issued earlier this year covering the entire Bidi^®? Stick (U.S. Patent No. 11,013,261) as well as the Bidi^®? Stick's unique mouthpiece (U.S. Patent No. 10,932,491), which delivers vapor at a safe and consistent temperature and prevents the user from inhaling unpleasant condensation. Bidi^® Vapor continues to prosecute additional patent applications in the U.S. and abroad to offer its customers continued innovation and maintain its premium standing in the market.

Bidi^® Vapor has long prided itself on its ability to use independent design and science in developing its products. We believe that in the ENDS market, retailers have the most confidence selling products marked by strong patent portfolios, outstanding technology, premium experience, and stringent compliance policies and infrastructure. Today's announcement of two new patents allows Kaival Brands to check all these boxes and signify that we are a top ENDS product in today's market.

Bidi^® Vapor's founding mission is to provide recreational, non-combusted alternatives to adult cigarette smokers. Both Kaival Brands and Bidi^® Vapor are vehemently opposed to all illegal underage tobacco use, including ENDS use, by minors. We are committed to preventing youth use of ENDS, responsibly marketing to adult tobacco users 21 and over, working with law abiding retailers and distributors, and complying with all federal and state laws and taxes applicable to the distribution of the Bidi®? Stick and the BIDI®? Pouch including, but not limited to, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act ("TCA"), the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), and the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking ("PACT") Act. We are further committed to developing science to support the continued marketing of our products as appropriate for the protection of the public health and engaging with state and federal authorities to promote enforcement and the removal of counterfeit, non-compliant and youth-targeting ENDS products from the market.

Mr. Patel, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, owns and controls Bidi^®? Vapor. As a result, Bidi^®? Vapor and the Company are considered under common control and Bidi^®? Vapor is considered a related party.
