Unilin Receives Preliminary Injunction Against Chinese Flooring Manufacturer Yekalon
Dallas, July 26, 2010 – The Court of Hamburg recently issued a preliminary injunction against the Chinese flooring manufacturer Yekalon which bans Yekalon from making the following statements in the future:
“In the final ruling made by the Court of Hamburg November 6, 2009, the preliminary injunction was revoked and Yekalon was crowned with another victory.”
and
“On January 24, 2007, in the Final Determination of the US ITC, Yekalon’s “Tap & Go” Engagement locking profiles were determined as the only non-infringing locking profiles. Unilin unwillingly accepted this Final Determination and made no appeal.”
The court decided that these statements include inaccurate and misleading information and therefore forbids Yekalon to publish these statements or to have them published by a third party.
The decision of the Court of Hamburg is open for objection.
