Kemin Foods, and OmniActive Health Technologies Inc and OmniActive Health Technologies Ltd have reached an amicable settlement of their dispute.

The parties agree that Kemin’s US Patent No 5,382,714 titled ‘Process for Isolation, Purification and Recrystallization of Lutein from Saponified Marigold Oleoresin and Uses Thereof’, and the reissues of that patent, are valid and enforceable.

In conjunction with the settlement, OmniActive will promote and sell its newly launched Lutemax 2020 products. The lawsuit pending in federal court in Florida between the parties has been dismissed. The remaining terms of the settlement are confidential.

Food for the Poor, Inc is an absolutely terrific organization. Their primary focus is on providing "goods in kind" to those in third world nations. We especially like them because they provide the means that impoverished people can use to support themselves, rather than just giving food that is consumed once. (Think "teaching a man to fish" rather than just giving him a fish; these folks supply the fishing poles.) Their Gift Catalog is lots of fun to browse; you can donate $90 to provide a goat to a family, or $205 to provide a water pump...or any number of other amounts, to supply any number of other things a family could use to climb out of poverty. I'm not sure exactly how the funds from their Haitian special appeal will be deployed (how many goats and how many water pumps, or whatever), but we trust that the contribution we made to that appeal earlier this week will be put to the best possible use. And, interestingly, Food for the Poor is the charity to which Whole Foods will be forwarding customer contributions made in certain other regions.
