Patent No. EP2560496 (titled "Rotatable Article Support For A Conveyor") was filed by Foodmate on Apr 19, 2011. The application was issued on Apr 1, 2015.

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.
