Compositions And Methods For Sample Processing

Patent No. EP3013957 (titled "Compositions And Methods For Sample Processing") was filed by X Genomics on Jun 26, 2014. The application was issued on May 11, 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.
