i4F’s vision is to enhance where people live, work and play with ingenious technologies, from the ﬂoor upwards. Its mission is to continually revolutionize ﬂooring, and beyond, through technological excellence, meaningful innovation and human partnerships.

i4F supports the global ﬂooring industry by licensing cutting-edge solutions in the areas of drop-lock technologies, digital printing, surface ﬁnishing - including technologies that imitate ceramic grouts, wall and ceiling installation systems, board and panel compositions, manufacturing processes and outdoor technologies.

Pick and choose the patents or groups of patents that best suit your business needs via i4F’s unique Patent Cluster Concept (PCC). i4F’s PCC lets licensees decide which technologies will reinforce their market position – or open up new revenue streams as trends change. i4F’s PCC also provides full transparency on fees so that licensees can obtain the best return on investment while avoiding unnecessary payments for unused technologies. 

i4F has strategic partnerships with the industry’s most important IP players, including Hymmen, Classen, Kronospan, HMTX, CFL Flooring, Tarkett, Kingdomfloors, Lico, Exterpark, Hesse-Lignal, Amorim and QuickStyle Industries.
