Process

Patent No. EP2152091 (titled "Process") was filed by Barry Callebaut on May 15, 2008. 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.
