The patent EP2222335 was granted to Pfizer on May 10, 2017. The application was filed on Nov 21, 2008 under application number EP08853123A. 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.
