The patent EP2596786 was granted to Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland on Nov 27, 2019. The application was filed on Feb 9, 2010 under application number EP13156122A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Revoked".

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.
