Filler For Papermaking Process

Patent No. EP1704282 (titled "Filler For Papermaking Process") was filed by Akzo Nobel on Dec 20, 2004. The application was issued on Aug 30, 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.
