Sandwich Assays In Droplets

Patent No. EP2622103 (titled "Sandwich Assays In Droplets") was filed by BIO RAD Laboratories on Sep 30, 2011. The application was issued on Nov 16, 2022.

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.
