The patent EP2874653 was granted to Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA on Dec 27, 2017. The application was originally filed on Jul 11, 2013 under application number EP13747541A. 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.
NPL citations refer to non-patent references such as research papers, articles, or other publications cited during examination or opposition phases.
