Company profile

Naturasource International LLC is a private company based in New Jersey. According to court filings, the company is managed by its sole member, Laszlo Pokorny. Further details regarding its founding date, employee count, or revenue are not available in public sources. It appears to be a distinct entity from the Canadian-based snack food manufacturer naturSource Inc. and a wholesaler named Natura Source that distributes bee propolis products.

The company's business, as described in legal proceedings, involves marketing food flavor ingredients and formulas. In one documented instance, Naturasource was contracted to market a client's proprietary products and subsequently engaged with Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. to explore commercial opportunities for the client's product line, which related to making pet food more palatable and safe. This suggests Naturasource operates as a business development or marketing agent for clients with proprietary food-related technologies.

Naturasource International's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its business. It has been a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not been a plaintiff, a pattern typical of a company being targeted with infringement allegations. The case is an appeal at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, with the underlying dispute originating in the District of New Jersey.

The company's only tracked litigation is a long-running and complex dispute with plaintiff Ricky Kamdem-ouaffo. The conflict, which began as early as 2013 in New Jersey state court, originally involved 14 state-law claims related to alleged misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract. Co-defendants in the litigation have included Hill's Pet Nutrition and its parent company, Colgate-Palmolive. The most recent tracked action is a 2026 patent infringement appeal at the Federal Circuit, indicating the dispute has evolved to include patent-related claims.
