The patent EP2995315 was granted to The Hospital FOR Sick Children on Dec 27, 2023. The application was originally filed on May 14, 2010 under application number EP15160169A. 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.
Patent citations refer to prior patents cited during different phases such as opposition or international search.
