The patent EP2542409 was granted to Avery Dennison on Dec 19, 2018. The application was filed on Mar 4, 2011 under application number EP11707768A. 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.
