Unilin Technologies has officially announced the termination of its license agreements with seven SPC flooring manufacturers, including Hubei Zong Tong Shu New Material, Wuxi Kexiangaineng New Material, Anhui Zhichang Bamboo Science and Technology, Anhui Yosemite Group, Anhui Yosemite New Material Technology, Hebei Kenuo Rubber Products, Zhejiang Haopai Decoration Materials, and Jiangsu Langyue New Materials Technology.
“We take the protection of our patented technologies very seriously and remain resolute in enforcing our rights to promote fair competition in the market,” said Sophie Demuenynck, Legal Director IP at Unilin Technologies. “Our compliance and audit programs are designed to support our licensed partners by granting them access to industry-leading innovations while shielding them from the challenges posed by unlicensed and infringing products.” Sophie added further.
This decisive action underscores Unilin’s commitment to safeguarding its patented technologies and protecting the interests of its compliant licensees. The termination follows the manufacturers’ incomplete or inadequate reporting and/or payments, failure to cooperate during compliance audits and/or their refusal to address audit findings.
Unilin’s compliance program ensures that its patented technologies are not misused and are exploited exclusively under appropriate licensing agreements, reinforcing Unilin’s dedication to intellectual property protection.
A key element of Unilin’s compliance program is the L2C label initiative, designed to ensure that all products utilizing Unilin’s locking systems are fully licensed. This program mandates that every product box featuring Unilin locking systems is equipped with an L2C holographic label, offering transparent verification for consumers and industry stakeholders.
By taking firm action against non-compliant manufacturers, Unilin shows its unwavering commitment to fair competition and the integrity of its licensing agreements.
