ITC rules in favor of Willkie client Unilin Beheer B.V. in patent infringement case.
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled in favor of Willkie client Unilin Beheer B.V. in a case filed by Unilin against 32 companies from Canada, China, South Korea, Malaysia and the U.S for patent infringement. The ITC found infringement on all nine of the asserted claims based on three Unilin U.S. patents. The ITC further granted Unilin a General Exclusion Order prohibiting the entry into the United States of any unlicensed laminated floor panels covered by the asserted patent claims. A General Exclusion Order applies not only to the companies named in the suit, but also to any company that seeks to import laminated floor panels into the U.S. The matter was handled by partners John DiMatteo and Steven Reisberg.
