Improved Composition

Patent No. EP2707473 (titled "Improved Composition") was filed by Reckitt Benckiser on May 11, 2012. The application was issued on Aug 17, 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.
