Patent No. EP3364767 (titled "Composition Comprising An Oil Phase") was filed by Unilever on Oct 18, 2016. The application was issued on Feb 26, 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.
