| Article | Pergo, the inventor and leading manufacturer of laminate flooring, announced that it entered into a mutual license agreement with EGGER, a European-based laminate flooring manufacturer, on Oct. 14. This agreement pertains to the extensive Pergo PerfectFold™ patent family and the PRO clic patent held by EGGER – both one-piece, fold-down laminate flooring systems. EGGER decided to implement a “fold-down” technology that improves and simplifies the installation properties of its flooring and also makes it possible to achieve professional results. This system is straightforward to use, ensures outstanding surface stability and guarantees glueless, rapid flooring installation. “While there was some initial uncertainty regarding the patent rights of solutions referred to as ‘fold-down’ technologies, all licensing issues now have been resolved,” said Ralf Eisermann, CEO of Pergo AG. “We are especially pleased that we were able to reach an agreement with EGGER because we believe strongly in this installation technology. Our objective is to also offer this technology to other laminate flooring manufacturers in the future.” Said Stefan Pletzer, head of marketing/sales for EGGER Retail Products, “We welcome this agreement with Pergo, as it results in legal certainty for us.” For more information about Pergo, visit www.pergo.com. |
