Unilin extends its patent protection in the U.S. and Canada
The Unilin Group announces that the North American patent offices have communicated news about its pending applications.
In November, the Canadian Patent Office granted a first patent CA 2226286 on glueless click-systems for flooring applications. The patent offers the same protection as its earlier granted U.S. equivalent US 6 390 836 and protects both glue-free joints with pretension and glue-free joints that allow installation by angling on the long side and by sliding on the short side. The Canadian patent gives the Unilin group the means to enforce its patent rights in Canada, as well.
