Disposable Diaper

Patent No. EP2087873 (titled "Disposable Diaper") was filed by UNI Charm on Jul 30, 2004. The application was issued on Sep 19, 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.
