Patent No. EP2953862 (titled "Improvements In Or Relating To Closures") was filed by Obrist Closures Switzerland on Feb 10, 2014. The application was issued on Sep 13, 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.
