被判向一家荷兰公司支付巨额专利费在美国337调查初裁获胜的中国木地板企业,没料到事隔5个月后,终裁结果来个“大逆转”。美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)近日最终裁定,38家全球被诉企业在美销售的地板专利侵权成立,包括圣象、菲林格尔和升达等中国18家地板企业全部败诉。中国出口到美国的强化木地板产品随时面临退货威胁。 The Chinese wood flooring company, which was awarded a huge patent fee to a Dutch company to investigate the preliminary ruling in the United States 337, did not expect a “big reversal” of the final ruling after a lapse of five months. The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) recently ruled that the 38 global companies accused of the infringement of floor-standing patent sales in the United States were established. All 18 Chinese flooring companies, including St. Elephant, Fillinger and Shengda, lost all their claims. Laminate flooring products exported from China to the United States are at risk at any time in return.
