The patent EP2538892 was granted to The Ohio Willow Wood on Mar 28, 2018. The application was originally filed on Feb 18, 2011 under application number EP11705417A. 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.
