Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On September 4, 2020, CQENS Technologies Inc. was informed by its intellectual property counsel that it had received a favorable International Preliminary Report on Patentability that was issued as a result of its filing of a Chapter II Demand and Article 34 Amendments with the International Bureau of the World International Property Office (WIPO) (the “PCT”) on September 5, 2019.

 

The report was issued in connection with the PCT patent application filed by on January 3, 2019 for its Heat-Not-Burn Device and Method. The examiner’s conclusion was that 84 of the 91 claims were considered to be “patentable,” and while the PCT does not issue patents, based upon management’s experience the company believes that a preliminary, favorable examination does provide insight as to how individual country examinations would likely proceed.
