Expression Method

Patent No. EP2809816 (titled "Expression Method") was filed by Basf on Jan 29, 2013. The application was issued on Feb 27, 2019.

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.
