The patent EP2488145 was granted to Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica on Apr 24, 2024. The application was originally filed on Oct 11, 2010 under application number EP10771837A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Granted And Under Opposition".

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.
