Unilin Technologies, a global leader in flooring innovation, stands firm in its dedication to protecting its extensive SPC patent portfolio. On January 30, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ruled that a specific non-foamed SPC product from a single Vilox licensee is not covered by the three patents asserted in the 2019 Unilin ITC action. US Customs and Border Protection however agreed with Unilin’s argumentation that the ruling should be limited to the unique non-foamed SPC sample Vilox presented to CBP. Unilin already filed a district court complaint against Vilox based on different patents within their SPC portfolio.

Robert Schneider, General Manager (Sales & Marketing) of the Swiss Krono Factory in Heiligengrabe, added: "We are increasing our offer of water-resistant flooring ranges with a huge focus on what end-consumers are looking for in a floor today. That's why we wanted to change to a floor that can offer extra durability, is waterproof and easy to install. The Unidrop locking helps us to commit to our sustainability targets while also increasing customer satisfaction ."

“Our goal is to provide a solution that is sustainable, efficient in manufacturing, and exceptional in performance”, Floris Koopmans, Sales Director IP at Unilin Technologies. “The Unidrop system achieves all of this, offering a robust locking mechanism and a seamless installation process for end-users.
