The patent EP2653162 was granted to Intermune on May 20, 2020. The application was filed on Dec 3, 2010 under application number EP13176914A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Revoked".

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.
