Alltech, Cenzone settle mycotoxin lawsuit
The animal nutrition companies Alltech and Cenzone have settled their patent infringement lawsuit.
The parties settled their dispute under confidential terms, with Cenzone
agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum to Alltech.
Litigation
The settlement concludes over 18 months of federal
litigation and was reached shortly after the United States District Court for
the Southern District of California ruled that Cenzone’s Microbond product
infringed Alltech’s US Patent No. 6,045,834, directed to compositions and
methods for combating mycotoxins in animal feed.
The patent combination (modified yeast cell
wall and mineral clay) was discovered by Alltech scientists about 10
years ago.
