That question has already been addressed in the Meet the CEO interview
http://www.meettheceo.com/

MTC: Is your EKO-FLOR product patented at all?

CI: We are in the process of patenting this EKO-FLOR product. EKO-FLOR is a series of, or will be a series of, products. The name is registered. The EKO-FLOR container product is, we feel the first to market with this product. We’ll gain the penetration. It’s more than just a product. There’s an infrastructure enhancement that needs to take place and which we are currently working on as we speak.

Both the shipping line container owners and the Institute of International Container Lessors, the two bodies that own 95% of the world’s containers out there, both claim that the industry will not tolerate more than two types of flooring products out there. So it is a little different. This is evidenced by what’s on the market today which is really one type of flooring product and one type of dimension with just variations of the wood. So we really feel that we will be the second product that will be coming on stream.

Of course it wouldn't hurt for you to resubmit this question if you are unsatisfied with this response.
