Unilin Technologies’ Post

NEWS: We take proactive measures against Vilox to protect licensed partners Yesterday we filed a complaint in the East Texas District court against Vilox, Amy Group and East Texas Floors. The legal action was taken to address the alleged infringement of several claims of multiple US patents within our extensive SPC patent portfolio. “We firmly believe that SPC products with a Vilox locking technology are covered by our SPC patent portfolio. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that Vilox representatives are providing a different narrative to the market,” states Bart Van der Stockt, President of Unilin Technologies. "Consequently, we find it necessary to take decisive action against them and the companies doing business in such products, in order to protect the interests of our licensed partners.” Read the complete press release here: https://lnkd.in/eUgSZZqf #Unilin #Lockingsystems #Flooring #Innovation
