Method And System For Activation Of A Packet Data Protocol Context

Patent No. EP1861981 (titled "Method And System For Activation Of A Packet Data Protocol Context") was filed by France Telecom on Mar 23, 2006. The application was issued on Dec 29, 2021.

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.
