Valinge Claims Patent Victory Over Pergo

Viken, Sweden, Sept. 26, 2011 -- Valinge said that it has won a patent dispute with Pergo.

Valinge said the European opposition division revoked a Pergo patent that the company has used to challenge Valinge's 5G locking system.

Välinge said it had also offered a cross license fee, which Pergo rejected.

“Pergo has now suffered two major losses on this patent – first the legal action against Balterio and our 5G original and now a total loss in opposition where the patent has been revoked," said Valinge CEO Darko Pervan.
