The patent EP2695148 was granted to Visa Europe on May 10, 2017. The application was originally filed on Apr 2, 2012 under application number EP12718316A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Opposition Rejected".

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.
