October 24, 2024, Shanghai, China: Kingwills submitted its first statement in legal proceedings before the U.S. International Trade Commission this week, disputing claims of wrongdoing submitted by DuPont de Nemours, Inc., DuPont Safety & Construction, Inc., and DuPont Specialty Products USA, LLC. The International Trade Commission invited submission of comments on public interest issues after receiving the complaint earlier this month concerning certain flash-spun nonwoven materials.
DuPont’s complaint asks for the exclusion of Hypak™ product from the United States market, among other products. It also accuses Kingwills of wrongfully using DuPont intellectual property.
Kingwills strongly disputes these claims and will vigorously defend itself in these proceedings. In its public interest comment, Kingwills explains that DuPont’s complaint “seeks to improperly monopolize technology that is almost sixty years old and has already been dedicated to the public after expiration of hundreds of DuPont’s patents.”
“With continuous efforts for many years, Kingwills independently developing the technologies required to make our Hypak™ material,” said Eric Chen, CEO and founder of Kingwills. “To ensure continuous innovation in product materials, ongoing optimization of existing product processes, and improvements in quality, we will continue to advance our research and development efforts to achieve more high-tech materials,” said Mr. Chen.
The case is in its early stages and has not yet been instituted by the International Trade Commission.
Founded in 2014, Kingwills independently developed its novel, lightweight and eco-friendly flash-spun Hypak™ product under a zero-carbon footprint philosophy. Kingwills is committed to becoming one of the world’s most creative material technology enterprises and a global leader in producing sustainable materials.
