Neptune Technologies & Bioressources Inc. has filed a complaint under Section 337 of the US Tariff Act of 1930 with the United States International Trade Commission (the "ITC") alleging that Aker BioMarine ASA, Aker BioMarine Antarctic USA, Inc., Aker BioMarine Antarctic AS, Enzymotec, Ltd., Enzymotec USA, Inc., Olympic Seafood As, Olympic Biotec Ltd., Rimfrost USA, LLC, Bioriginal Food & Science Corp. and Avoca Inc. are engaging in unfair trade practices by, at least, the importation, sale for importation, and sale after importation of certain krill-based products, namely krill paste and krill oils, that directly or indirectly infringe one or more claims of Neptune's U.S. Patent No. 8,278,351.

Neptune is seeking an order prohibiting the Respondents, their subsidiaries, related companies and agents from engaging in the importation, sale for importation, marketing and/or advertising, distribution, offering for sale, sale, sale after importation, or other transfer within the United States of certain krill-based products that infringe one or more claims of the '351 Patent. Neptune expects that the ITC investigation will formally commence within the next month or so, and that the case will take a total of about 15 to 18 months to conclude.
