Defendant
1 case as defendant.
NaturaSource International LLC is a private company operated by Laszlo Pokorny. Court filings from a long-running lawsuit indicate it is a New Jersey entity, while its current website states it is located in Georgia. Further details on its founding year, employee count, or revenue are not publicly available.
The company operates as a wholesale distributor. According to its website, NaturaSource is the authorized North American distributor for Apis-Brasil, a manufacturer of propolis-based health products. Court documents related to its litigation describe the company's business as marketing food flavor ingredients and formulas. In that capacity, it was contracted to market a client's products to larger companies.
The company's litigation posture, as a defendant in its only tracked case, is that of an operating company defending itself. Laszlo Pokorny and NaturaSource International are co-defendants in a case at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, captioned Ricky Kamdem-ouaffo v. Naturasource International LLC et al.
The case stems from a dispute with a former client, a food chemist who had hired NaturaSource to market his pet food flavor formulas. The plaintiff alleges that NaturaSource and its co-defendants, Colgate-Palmolive Company and Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc., misappropriated his proprietary technology. The dispute has a lengthy history, including prior related actions in New Jersey state and federal district courts.
The accused products are pet foods with antimicrobial properties.
