Patent No. EP2774481 (titled "Antimicrobial Compositions") was filed by Symrise on Mar 8, 2013. The application was issued on Jun 13, 2018.

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.
