Patent No. EP3868400 (titled "Multivalent Pcv2 Immunogenic Compositions And Methods Of Producing Such Compositions") was filed by Hring on Dec 28, 2006. The application was issued on May 13, 2026.
A multivalent combination vaccine for swine comprises 2 µg to 50 µg of PCV2 ORF2 protein per dose and at least one immunogenic active component targeting another swine disease-causing organism. The vaccine is used in a method to lessen the severity of clinical symptoms associated with PCV2 infection, such as Post-weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS), via a single administration. The PCV2 ORF2 protein may be a recombinant protein expressed by a transfected virus and recovered from the supernate. Target organisms for the additional immunogenic components include PRRS virus, *Lawsonia intracellularis*, BVD, *Leptospira* serovars, *Brucella suis*, *Clostridium* species (*C. difficile, C. perfringens, C. novyi*), *Eperythrozoon suis*, adenovirus, and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.

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.
The dossier documents provide a comprehensive record of the patent's prosecution history - including filings, correspondence, and decisions made by patent offices - and are crucial for understanding the patent's legal journey and any challenges it may have faced during examination.
