Settlement Reached in Luv n' care Intellectual Property Lawsuit Against Royal
King

MONROE, La., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Luv n' care, Ltd. and Admar
International, Inc. announced today a settlement of their intellectual
property suit against Royal King Infant Products Co Ltd. of Thailand. The
lawsuit, instituted against Royal King Infant Products Co Ltd. in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, charged that Royal King had
engaged in federal and state unfair competition, infringement, and dilution,
by illegally copying Luv n' care's popular items for young children. The
Thailand manufacturer was accused of infringing the rights in Luv n' care's
products, packaging, and trademarks, including the famous NUBY(R) mark, to
confuse consumers into believing that the unauthorized copies originated from
Luv n' care, and to trade off of Luv n' care's good will in the marketplace.

Under the terms of the settlement, Royal King agreed to permanently cease and
desist from manufacturing and selling globally any further copies of sixteen
of Luv n' care's products and their packaging, and any further versions likely
to cause confusion. Royal King also agreed to pay Luv n' care a total of
nearly $900,000 in damages and attorneys' fees for the infringement claims
domestically and worldwide. In addition, Royal King agreed to pay a 12%
royalty during the sell off period of the products in question. In addition,
Luv n' care reserved the right to separately pursue retailers or other third
parties selling the accused infringements.

"We are very pleased with the favorable settlement," stated Edward Hakim, CEO
of Luv n' care. "This will serve as a reminder that Luv n' care will
vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights, and has no tolerance for
the illegal copying of its acclaimed and original designs. We look forward to
getting back to our business, which is known for its innovation and attention
to the needs of parents and children worldwide."

Headquartered in Louisiana, Luv n' care has achieved international fame for
its aesthetic and pioneering offerings, including those of its famous line of
NUBY(R) products. A family owned and operated private business, it has grown
to become one of the leading baby product companies in the world today, with
