Photocatalytically Active Coated Substrates

Patent No. EP1254870 (titled "Photocatalytically Active Coated Substrates") was filed by Pilkington on Jun 1, 2000. The application was issued on May 14, 2014.

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.
