ExtrusioVinyl & Plastics Co. Inc. (EVP) receives its patent for its wood grain simulation technology for horizontal blinds
LAVAL, Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) February 3, 2005 -- ExtrusioVinyl &
Plastics Co. Inc. (EVP) is pleased to announce that its Canadian patent
application with respect to veining simulation in extruded resin products has
been granted by the Canadian Patent Office. This technology permits a realistic
simulation of wood grain coloration nuances in the company’s extrusions, thus
rendering a more natural appearance to the product, while retaining the in-use
performance superiorities of extruded products over natural wood. This
technology is currently being employed in EVP’s extrusions for horizontal window
coverings slats, and marketed by its Direct Window Fashions / Decoration Direct
division. Please, visit our website at www.decorationdirecte.com
According to EVP
Vice-President, Carmine Franco, “This patent is very important not only to EVP
but also to the Canadian plastics industry as a whole. Since releasing this new
product to the market, inexpensive copies of our technology have rapidly entered
the market, distributed by other companies active in the window covering
business. These imports are a flagrant violation of EVP’s intellectual property
rights and the granting of this patent establishes the legal grounds to protect
our domestic manufacturing against the incursions of imports from counties not
having to adhere to the same labour standards which we in Canada have come to
expect. With this patent now granted, EVP intends to exercise to the fullest
extent available its options available to protect the intellectual property
developed by its Canadian personnel. The future of Canadian industry depends on
its continuing development of industrial technology and patent protection and
enforcement are essential weapons in the fight against predatory pricing by
importers based on cheap labour economies.”
EVP is a fully-integrated
manufacturer of window covering products sold both to fabricators and direct to
retailers through its Direct Window Fashions / Decoration Direct division. EVP
also extrudes PVC and polystyrene profiles for the building trade and medical
tubing through its Med+Plast subsidiary and, as well, provides a custom
extrusion service for a variety of companies.
