"We are excited to offer this innovative e-cigarette technology to our global base of buyers. Electronic cigarette patenting is in its embryonic stages, therefore, owning this portfolio provides a distinct advantage to first movers in an industry experiencing rapid growth," says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.

Key Characteristics & Benefits
According to Wall Street estimates, U.S. e-cigarette retail sales are expected to grow from $500 million in 2012 to $1 billion in 2013, and eclipse U.S. traditional cigarette market sales within the next decade.

The portfolio for sale describes improved e-cigarette technology with characteristics identical to that of traditional cigarettes. The disclosed e-cigarettes are designed to have an appearance, taste, and aroma identical to tobacco cigarettes, thus providing a realistic smoking experience to users. The IP package includes methods for generating visible and dense smoke as well as aerosol chambers with valves to control the amount of smoke inhaled by users. Furthermore, additional substances such as fragrances, nicotine, and pharmaceuticals are included in the e-cigarette that may provide assistance in the cessation of smoking. 

Despite recent market growth and product innovation, few companies have developed sizeable intellectual property positions in this space. Fierce competition for IP is expected by market leaders as the e-cigarette industry and competitive landscape begin to stabilize.
