Patent No. EP2313307 (titled "Pod Drive") was filed by Renk on Jul 23, 2009. The application was issued on Aug 18, 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.
