Surfaces Using Structural Modules

Patent No. EP2454416 (titled "Surfaces Using Structural Modules") was filed by Permavoid on Jul 13, 2010. The application was issued on Jan 15, 2025.

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.
