Team Mannatech Athlete Nancy Lieberman Signs Seven-day Contract with the Detroit Shock

Team Mannatech member and basketball legend Nancy Lieberman has signed a seven-day contract with the Detroit Shock. Lieberman, age 50, in an almost unprecedented move, was asked to play for the team during its temporary loss of Cheryl Ford due to an injury.

"In 1997, when I was trying to come back to basketball at the tender age of 38, no one thought I could do it," Lieberman said. "Using Mannatech products, I was able to improve my performance and become a successful player in the WNBA. Today, I'm the only woman in the WNBA who is playing professional basketball at age 50 and I enjoy telling my players, friends and family about the success I've had with Mannatech products."

Judge validates both Mannatech Ambrotose patents in case against Glycoproducts International

Magistrate Judge Jeff Kaplan in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, issued a Memorandum Opinion finding that Glycoproducts International Inc., (Glycobiotics) infringed both Mannatech patents at issue in the case (U.S. Patent No.6,929,807 and U.S. Patent No. 7,157,431). This ruling resolves all issues in this case with Mannatech winning on all patent and trademark infringement claims brought against Glycobiotics.

"We have always firmly believed that this was an unlawful infringement of our patents and we were committed to pursuing this case as far as was necessary to stop this injustice," said Keith Clark, Mannatech's senior vice president and general counsel. "This is a great win for our independent sales Associates who have worked so hard to defend Mannatech's products and their effectiveness against imitators in the marketplace. These affirmations by the judge and the jury should send a message to anyone else infringing our patents that we will do what is necessary to protect our intellectual property and our Associates."
