The patent EP3015595 was granted to Novalis on Dec 12, 2018. The application was filed on Oct 8, 2015 under application number EP15188889A. 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.
