Protection Cap

Patent No. EP2881642 (titled "Protection Cap") was filed by Schaeffler on Nov 14, 2014. The application was issued on May 22, 2024.

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.
