Patent No. EP2680175 (titled "Design Assistance System") was filed by Omron on Mar 23, 2011. The application was issued on Feb 24, 2016.

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.
