Patent No. EP3988166 (titled "Magnetic Stimulation Methods And Devices For Therapeutic Treatments") was filed by BTL Healthcare on Jun 30, 2016. The application was issued on May 14, 2025.
Magnetic stimulation device that enables high-frequency (up to 100 Hz) magnetic field treatment for deep tissue stimulation. The device comprises multiple magnetic field generating units, each with its own energy storage and switching circuitry. The units are connected in a matrix configuration to create a continuous magnetic field. This enables simultaneous treatment of multiple areas through coordinated application of different magnetic field parameters, rather than sequential treatment of individual areas. The device also incorporates advanced thermal monitoring and cooling systems to prevent overheating. The matrix configuration allows for precise control over treatment parameters, including frequency, intensity, and duration, while maintaining optimal treatment parameters.

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.
