The patent EP3694477 was granted to Cmed Aesthetics on Dec 1, 2021. The application was originally filed on Sep 18, 2018 under application number EP18786860A. 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.
Patent citations refer to prior patents cited during different phases such as opposition or international search.
