Turning your IP into a profit center

The Unilin Technologies sub-licensing program is designed to help companies commercialize their groundbreaking ideas and innovations. Companies can boost their profit margins by relying on our extensive expertise in intellectual property management and our world-wide IP licensing network.

Filing for IP rights, such as patents, trademarks and designs is a common way of protecting efforts spent in research and development. However, the investment by individual companies in such IP rights to protect their technology against competition is often inadvisably regarded as a pure loss.

Under its sublicensing program, Unilin Technologies opens up its IP expertise to third parties with the aim of creating return on their investment in research and development.

Unilin Technologies seeks to establish win-win arrangements with third parties, wherein the basic ideas are:

You develop your technology
You file for your IP-rights with or without Unilin's IP assistance
Unilin Technologies markets and commercializes your technology

Unilin Technologies provides:

Immediate access to a vast network of existing licensees
A worldwide, active sales team in the relevant market

More than 20 years of know-how in licensing, auditing and financial control
More than 20 years of expertise in patent valuation and prosecution

Next generation “wrapping material”

Together with Tacon Decor, we developed a special wrapping material of laminate quality, to be used as a finishing surface for skirting boards and other decorative profiles.

This next generation wrapping material can be applied more easily and smoothly, at higher speed during the wrapping process while still providing the required impact resistance. It can be wrapped around corners with minimal radii. Less decor paper waste is created in the production of the wrapping material, making it a more ecological choice.
