Graphical User Interface For Use With Open Expert System

Patent No. EP1825424 (titled "Graphical User Interface For Use With Open Expert System") was filed by Becton on Nov 9, 2005. The application was issued on May 2, 2018.

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.
