Method For Checking The Authenticity Of An Identification Document

Patent No. EP2956915 (titled "Method For Checking The Authenticity Of An Identification Document") was filed by Bundesdruckerei on Feb 13, 2014. The application was issued on Dec 26, 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.
