It is believed V\u00e4linge and its employees, including a named inventor, deliberately withheld important prior art documents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) during the application process.&nbsp; By doing so, V\u00e4linge breached the duty of candor and good faith owed to the USPTO, making the patents unenforceable.&nbsp; This development follows a decision by the court earlier this year which rendered four of V\u00e4linge\u2019s Mannington patents invalid as indefinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These new developments reinforce further I4F\u2019s belief that V\u00e4linge\u2019s case against Halstead\/Home Depot is unjustifiable and merely aimed at keeping I4F\u2019s 3L TripleLock and Click4U systems out of the market.&nbsp; As a result, I4F is of the opinion that the case should be dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/180816-I4F-News-Release-Valinge-vs-Halstead-HD-case.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">ENGLISH 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_60d46257a9e14\">\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-1435","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
