The patent EP3017120 was granted to Saint Gobain on Nov 3, 2021. The application was filed on Jul 1, 2014 under application number EP14738775A. The patent is currently recorded with a legal status of "Granted And Under Opposition".

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.
