September 2016: The parties in a class-action lawsuit filed against Patent Health, L.L.C. in 2013 for allegedly deceptively marketing Trigosamine glucosamine supplements, reached a settlement agreement. The plaintiffs had alleged that the company deceptively claimed the supplements provide a variety of health benefits – including relieving joint pain, lubricating joints, and building cartilage – without adequate scientific evidence to support such claims. The terms of the settlement agreement have not been disclosed. (Vasic et al v. Patent Health, L.L.C. et al, Case No. 13-cv-849, S. D. CA.)
