Patent No. EP2822777 (titled "Multi-Layer Printing Process") was filed by Amcor Group on Mar 6, 2013. The application was issued on Oct 11, 2017.

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.
