The patent EP2513212 was granted to Fraunhofer Gesellschaft ZUR Frderung DER Angewandten Forschung EV on Apr 21, 2021. The application was originally filed on Dec 17, 2010 under application number EP10800702A. 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.
NPL citations refer to non-patent references such as research papers, articles, or other publications cited during examination or opposition phases.
