CLEARFIELD, UTAH (April 12, 2004) -- Lifetime Products Inc., a worldwide leader in the folding table market, announced today that it was granted a summary judgment of literal infringement against Maxchief Investments, Ltd., a major Asian manufacturer of folding blow-molded tables.

Previously, the United States District Court for the Central District of California had found that Maxchief and its distributors were infringing various Lifetime patents by importing and selling within the United States various Maxchief table products designated with “PT” model numbers.  Initially, Maxchief tried to evade liability by arguing that its distributors were solely responsible for the infringing sales of its products within the United States.  But once the court ruled that Maxchief shared its distributors’ liability for the infringing acts, Maxchief introduced a new product line designated with “BT” model numbers.  On March 30, 2004, the court held that Maxchief’s new “BT” products, like Maxchief’s former “PT” products, infringe Lifetime’s patents.

Lifetime intends to continue its vigorous pursuit of all available remedies against Maxchief, its distributors, and all other unauthorized infringers of Lifetime's valuable intellectual property assets. The law firm of Workman Nydegger is representing Lifetime.

CLEARFIELD, UTAH (October 27, 2003) -- Lifetime Products, Inc., a worldwide leader in the folding table market, announced today that the United States District Court for the District of Utah stated its intention to once again file a preliminary injunction against GSC Technology Corporation, a Canadian company charged with copying Lifetime’s recently introduced Personal Table™ product line.

Lifetime introduced its Personal Table™ product line last fall.  The Personal Table™ is a durable, versatile and portable personal space solution with adjustable height settings, designed for indoor and outdoor use.

GSC sought to present an additional product design to compete with the Lifetime Personal Table.  Upon learning of the additional GSC offering, Lifetime once again sought to enjoin any further manufacture, use, sales and offers to sell the GSC copies of Lifetime's Personal Table products.  In the Hearing conducted on Lifetime's Motion for Preliminary injunction on October 22, 2003, the Court stated its intention to enter a written order providing for the following injunctive relief: that Lifetime is likely to prevail at trial on its patent claims and that the Court will preliminarily enjoin GSC from importing, offering to sell or selling its newly offered infringing product into or within the United States.The court stated it also intends to order GSC to offer to purchase the infringing tables in its customers' inventory at the price at which they were sold, plus shipping and handling.

Additionally, the court stated it intends to order GSC to inform its customers of the issuance of the injunction and of the fact that if the Court does not change its preliminary finding of infringement at trial, the customers will be direct infringers if they sell the infringing tables. Significantly, the Court determined that GSC is to be enjoined from further sales and offers to sell its Personal Table, effective immediately. The Court's orally stated injunction order is to be followed in the near term by a written opinion.

Lifetime intends to continue its vigorous pursuit of all available remedies against GSC and other unauthorized infringers of Lifetime's valuable intellectual property assets. The law firm of Workman Nydegger is representing Lifetime.

CLEARFIELD, UTAH (July 9, 2003) -- Lifetime Products Inc., a worldwide leader in the folding table market, announced today that it was granted a summary judgment of literal infringement against Maxchief Investments, Ltd., a major Asian manufacturer of folding blow-molded tables.

Previously, the United States District Court for the Central District of California had found that Maxchief’s distributor Alton Industries, Inc. had infringed Lifetime’s United States Patent No. 6,431,092 by importing and selling various Maxchief table products.  At that time, Maxchief postponed a finding that it too had infringed Lifetime’s patent by arguing that Maxchief’s distributors, rather than Maxchief itself, were responsible for the infringing importation and sale of Maxchief’s products.  But in today’s ruling, the court rejected Maxchief’s assertion and found that Maxchief also is liable for the introduction of its infringing products, including those sold to and through Alton, into the United States.

Lifetime intends to continue its vigorous pursuit of all available remedies against Maxchief, its distributors, and all other unauthorized infringers of Lifetime's valuable intellectual property assets. The law firm of Workman Nydegger is representing Lifetime.

Lifetime introduced its Personal Table™ product line last fall.  The Personal Table™ is a durable, versatile and portable personal space solution with adjustable height settings, designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Upon learning that GSC had begun marketing and distributing a copy of the Lifetime Personal Table™, Lifetime brought suit for infringement of various Lifetime patents that protect the innovative designs embodied in the Lifetime Personal Table. The court has determined that Lifetime will probably win at trial and has, therefore, preliminarily enjoined GSC from importing or selling its infringing product into or within the United States.

Lifetime intends to continue its vigorous pursuit of all available remedies against GSC and other unauthorized infringers of Lifetime's valuable intellectual property assets. The law firm of Workman Nydegger is representing Lifetime.

In 1998, Lifetime introduced the first blow-molded polyethylene folding utility table to the market.
