i4F informs market that dispute with VILOX is not settled

  • i4F considering an appeal of USPTO decision
  • i4F and any others remain completely free to assert patent invalidity in court

TURNHOUT, BELGIUM – i4F®, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, today announced that the recent decision by the USPTO not to institute an Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) of VILOX’s U.S Patent No. 11, 421,425 does not confirm the validity of the patent and, in any event, is subject to appeal. It does not preclude i4F, or any others, from asserting the invalidity of the VILOX patent in other court proceedings based on the same or different prior art and arguments.

Unlike claims made by VILOX in its recent public communication, this ruling does not settle the dispute between i4F and VILOX. i4F remains of the opinion that the VILOX patent is invalid. Furthermore, i4F will continue to assess and monitor closely any infringement of its patents.
