Fixer Fluids

Patent No. EP2895566 (titled "Fixer Fluids") was filed by Hewlett Packard on Sep 14, 2012. The application was issued on Nov 9, 2022.

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.
