Patent No. EP2902473 (titled "Unit Dose Article") was filed by The Procter & Gamble on Apr 25, 2014. The application was issued on Nov 14, 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.
