Improvements In Security Papers And Documents

Patent No. EP3209502 (titled "Improvements In Security Papers And Documents") was filed by DE LA RUE on Oct 21, 2015. The application was issued on Apr 20, 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.
