LAS VEGAS and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TAAT™ GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES INC. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) (the “Company” or “TAAT™”) is pleased to announce that its patent filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for the technique which causes Beyond Tobacco™ to taste and smell similarly to tobacco has been advanced to “nonprovisional” status, with the assignment of a patent examiner currently pending. In a press release dated September 4, 2020, the Company announced that it had filed for patent protection of this refinement technique, which characterizes both TAAT™ and its Beyond Tobacco™ base material. TAAT™ was launched at retail in Ohio in Q4 2020, and was made available to the majority of smokers aged 21+ in the United States through e-commerce in February 2021. Sentiments from users of TAAT™ have largely reflected satisfaction with the product’s experiential similarity to that of smoking a tobacco cigarette, despite no tobacco or nicotine content whatsoever in TAAT™.
