Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Anabio Technologies Ltd is a private Irish biotechnology company founded in 2011. Headquartered in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork, the company operates as a specialist in microencapsulation technology and employs between 30 and 60 people. Anabio is a privately held company that has received funding from investors including the IGNITE Graduate Business Innovation Programme and Irrus Investments.
The company's core business is developing and manufacturing protective microscopic coatings for sensitive functional ingredients used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal health industries. Anabio's patented technologies are primarily used to encapsulate probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds. This process enhances ingredient stability against heat, moisture, and digestion, allows for controlled release, and can mask unpleasant tastes, enabling the creation of products like shelf-stable probiotic drinks and fortified foods.
As an operating company, Anabio Technologies has a defensive patent litigation posture, appearing as a defendant in the single case tracked in our database. This case, filed at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), indicates the company is involved in disputes related to its products being imported into the United States. While the provided case is at the ITC, public records also show a related patent infringement lawsuit filed by the same plaintiff in the Eastern District of Texas in April 2026.
The company's only tracked litigation is an ITC case filed by Promotion In Motion Inc. (PIM Brands) against New Cibo Vita LLC and other parties, including Anabio Technologies. The dispute appears related to yogurt-covered fruit snacks sold by New Cibo Vita, which allegedly utilize Anabio's microencapsulated probiotic technology. This suggests Anabio has been drawn into litigation as a technology supplier to a primary defendant.
The accused products are fruit snacks containing probiotics, as well as the method used to manufacture them.
