Patent No. EP3042093 (titled "Friction Clutch Device") was filed by Schaeffler on Aug 12, 2014. The application was issued on Oct 14, 2020.

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.
