Patent No. EP2912227 (titled "Apparatus") was filed by Spurrell on Oct 16, 2013. The application was issued on Dec 7, 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.
