Alloc, Berry victorious in Utility Model dispute with Unilin
On April 27, the German Patent Office judged upon the cancellation actions that were initiated against Unilin's utility model DE 297 24 428. These cancellation actions were filed by Alloc (and the Berry Group) and several other laminate floor producers.
Although the German Patent Office completely revoked the Unilin utility model, the decision is open to appeal.
