Patent No. EP3267453 (titled "Safety System") was filed by Dormakaba Deutschland on Jul 3, 2017. The application was issued on Jun 8, 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.
