The patent EP2080318 was granted to Abbott on Feb 27, 2019. The application was filed on Nov 6, 2007 under application number EP07863988A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Revoked".

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
