Pergo Settles Lawsuit and Neuhofer withdraws molding product from the U.S. Market

Neuhofer Holz GmbH, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of molding products, withdraws product from the U.S. market in the face of Pergo patent infringement suit. The legal action pending in District Court in North Carolina, USA, against Neuhofer and its U.S. subsidiary, FN Profile, Inc will be withdrawn. Pergo has with that reduced the number of litigations pending in the United States.

“We are pleased that competitors are recognizing Pergo’s innovations and withdrawing accused products. This is but one of the lawsuits Pergo has brought against infringers of our patent rights. Pergo will continue to enforce its patent rights.” says Tony Sturrus CEO. The lawsuit was initiated earlier this year when, Pergo (Europe) AB and Pergo, Inc. sued Neuhofer Holz GmbH and FN Profile, Inc in a U.S. district court. Pergo alleged that Neuhofer’s product infringed Pergo’s pioneering patents protecting, amongst other things, Pergo’s revolutionary and innovative SimpleSolutions™ Four-in-One Molding product. Pergo’s lawsuit with Faus Group Inc and Industrias Auxiliares Faus S.L. covering the same type of products and the same patents continues as previously announced.
