Patent No. EP2720610 (titled "Connectors For Making Connections Between Analyte Sensors And Other Devices") was filed by Abbott on Jun 18, 2012. The application was issued on Jul 16, 2025.
An analyte monitoring system that enables continuous glucose monitoring using a sensor connector to attach an analyte sensor to an electronics unit. The system includes a single-sided or double-sided analyte sensor with electrodes on one or both sides of a substrate, and a sensor connector that physically and electrically connects the sensor to the electronics unit. The sensor connector can be a rivet or other conductive material that connects the electrodes on one side of the sensor to the electronics unit, or a conductive rivet that connects electrodes on both sides of the sensor. The system enables continuous glucose monitoring by maintaining a stable connection between the sensor and electronics unit, and can be used with both in vivo and in vitro glucose monitoring applications.

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.
