Extended Release Suspension Compositions

Patent No. EP3137060 (titled "Extended Release Suspension Compositions") was filed by SUN Pharmaceutical Industries on May 1, 2015. The application was issued on Dec 20, 2023.

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.
