The patent EP2986312 was granted to Cytune Pharma on Dec 15, 2021. The application was originally filed on Apr 22, 2014 under application number EP14723324A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Granted And Under Opposition".

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.
