Hemostatic Compositions Containing Sterile Thrombin

Patent No. EP1663297 (titled "Hemostatic Compositions Containing Sterile Thrombin") was filed by Ethicon on Jul 23, 2004. The application was issued on Apr 12, 2023.

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.
