I4F clarified that no specific link exists between I4F\u2019s technology, 3L TripleLock, and the German part of V\u00e4linge\u2019s Mannington patent EP 2 248 665 (EP\u00b4665) subject to the German court filing against Belgian distributor, Oneflor Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, I4F is of the opinion that the Mannington patent referred to in V\u00e4linge\u2019s filing is invalid. This opinion is based on the fact V\u00e4linge lost the right to enforce four US counterparts of EP\u2019665 in the United States in May 2018. Despite earlier proceedings before the European Patent Office, patent EP\u2019665 is also currently under scrutiny as part of invalidation proceedings initiated by I4F before the Federal Patent Court in Munich, Germany. Additionally, patent EP\u2019665 is at the end of its lifetime and will expire in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company said, \u201cYet again, we are unfortunately forced to react to inaccurate and misleading public statements from V\u00e4linge. We see absolutely no link between this court case and I4F\u2019s 3L TripleLock technology. We consider this false allegation as anti-competitive and yet another desperate attempt from V\u00e4linge to damage I4F\u2019s rapidly growing position in the global flooring industry. We are confident that the Oneflor product, using UWC Windm\u00f6ller patents represented by I4F, does not infringe on V\u00e4linge\u2019s soon to expire EP\u2019665 patent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/181217-I4F-News-Release-ENGLISH-1.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">ENGLISH VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/181217-I4F-News-Release-CHINESE-4.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">CHINESE VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_60d45d28afc23\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 31\u65e5<\/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\/zh-hans\/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\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 25\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 1\u6708 27\u65e5<\/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\/zh-hans\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-1415","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
