A Wheel Hub Unit

Patent No. EP2483097 (titled "A Wheel Hub Unit") was filed by Volvo Lastvagnar on Oct 2, 2009. The application was issued on Oct 4, 2023.

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.
