The patent EP2827845 was granted to Novo Nordisk on Dec 26, 2018. The application was filed on Mar 15, 2013 under application number EP13709232A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Revoked".
Pharmaceutical composition for treating diabetes and obesity that uses a specific mixing process to prevent over-lubrication issues. The composition contains granules made by mixing a delivery agent like N-(8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino)caprylic acid with a lubricant like magnesium stearate for more than 5 minutes before dry granulation. This extended mixing time prevents negative effects on tablet properties when using high lubricant concentrations. The composition can be in the form of tablets or capsules.

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.
