Weighing Arrangement

Patent No. EP2278284 (titled "Weighing Arrangement") was filed by Cabinplant on Mar 3, 2006. The application was issued on Oct 16, 2024.

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.
