The patent EP2981520 was granted to LEK Pharmaceuticals DD on Mar 6, 2019. The application was filed on Apr 4, 2014 under application number EP14715016A. 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.
