The patent EP2102847 was granted to Koninklijke Philips on Oct 25, 2017. The application was originally filed on Nov 27, 2007 under application number EP07849262A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Opposition Rejected".

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.
Patent citations refer to prior patents cited during different phases such as opposition or international search.
