patent protection reinforced further by Canadian Intellectual Property Office<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>WILLEMSTAD, CURA\u00c7AO \u2013 Innovations4Flooring (I4F), a technology company providing flooring installation solutions, today announced that it is receiving a second patent grant on its 3L TripleLock technology from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). I4F has received an intention to grant letter from the CIPO for a divisional* patent application, published as CA2,908,083. This provides I4F\u2019s licensees with an extended scope of patent protection and additional legal certainty of 3L TripleLock\u2019s innovative character in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s global patent strategy is designed to maintain flexibility as well as to fortify and broaden the scope of patent protection in relation to 3L TripleLock and its other technologies. This benefits I4F licensees and makes it more difficult for competitors to design around I4F\u2019s patent portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Rietveldt, CEO of Innovations4Flooring said, \u201cThe imminent grant of our second Canadian patent grant is significant as now both the US and Canada have an extended scope of protection on our 3L TripleLock technology. This, together with last week\u2019s ruling from the US Customs &amp; Border Protection Agency, approving the import of products incorporating 3L TripleLock and Click4U into the USA, gives our licensees rock-solid protection both across North America and Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3L TripleLock, I4F\u2019s one piece drop-lock technology, has patents granted and multiple additional patent applications pending worldwide. I4F\u2019s technology is already being used on millions of square meters of different types of flooring, including laminate, wood, luxury vinyl tiles, Rigid Core Flooring (RCF) and Multi-Layer Flooring (MLF). I4F is the original creator and provider of a truly innovative one piece drop-lock solution, protected by a sound international patent portfolio, based on a threefold locking mechanism, suitable for laminate, LVT, wooden flooring panels as well as RCF and MLF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact:<\/strong><br>Gilliane Palmer<br>+31 6 4189 9515<br><a href=\"mailto:gilliane@innovations4flooring.com\">gilliane@innovations4flooring.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note to editors:<br><em>* A divisional patent application is a patent application filed with the same subject-matter as its \u2018parent\u2019 patent application (in this case 3L TripleLock\u2019s CA 2,764,957) whilst claiming a different invention.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_60d4a99972072\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">Letzte Neuigkeiten<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 31, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Mar 25, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">Jan 27, 2026<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">Artikel lesen<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/de\/news\/\" class=\"btn btn-outline-secondary\">Alle Neuigkeiten anzeigen<\/a><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-1666","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
