Vehicle Mirror And Method For Its Production

Patent No. EP3225467 (titled "Vehicle Mirror And Method For Its Production") was filed by Ficosa on Mar 28, 2017. The application was issued on Apr 27, 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.
