Unilin IP files ITC case against unlicensed resilient flooring products
On the 25th of March 2019, Flooring Industries (Unilin IP), together with its affiliated companies, Mohawk Industries and IVC US, filed a complaint in the US based on Section 337 of the US Tariff Act before the International Trade Commission (ITC). The complaint requests an exclusion order preventing the unlawful importation of vinyl products that infringe certain Unilin IP patents. Unilin IP is seeking a “general exclusion order” to empower US customs to block all patent infringing vinyl products at the US border.
