The patent EP2235118 was granted to Advanced Materials JTJ SRO on Apr 26, 2017. The application was originally filed on Dec 8, 2008 under application number EP08858451A. 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.
