Patent No. EP3904057 (titled "Apparatus And Method For Fabricating An Elastic Nonwoven Material") was filed by Aurizon on Sep 28, 2017. The application was issued on May 24, 2023.
Fabricating an elastic nonwoven material that is more durable than other materials, is less expensive, and is able to be used in a variety of articles including personal care articles (e.g., adult briefs, baby diapers, child/adult pull-on pants, contour fit hygiene products, etc.) and medical garments (e.g., masks, caps, gowns, footwear, etc.). The material includes a bonding module and a second bonding module positioned in close proximity to the first bonding module. The bonding module and the second bonding module are positioned to receive at least one elastic strand and a nonwoven material.

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.
