ORANGE, New Jersey, November 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
LycoRed has reached a settlement with Parry in the matter of Civil Action No. 12-1695-WHW-CLW, in which LycoRed filed for patent infringement in March 2012 against U.S. Nutraceuticals LLC, E.I.D. Parry (India) Ltd. and Parry Phytoremedies PVT, Ltd. (collectively "Parry") with respect to LycoRed's U.S. Patent Nos. 6,515,018, 5,837,311 and 5,965,183 regarding tomato lycopene products and related manufacturing processes.
As part of the terms of the confidential settlement, Parry acknowledged the validity of LycoRed's asserted patents. Parry had challenged those patents in the Patent Office, but is now withdrawing its requests for Inter Partes Review.
Morris Zelkha, CEO of LycoRed, stated the following: "LycoRed invests millions of dollars in researching the efficacy and safety of its proprietary ingredients. It continues to differentiate itself from other companies in the market by using its proprietary processes to manufacture lycopene and unique compositions.
