Patent No. EP4036152 (titled "Insulated Conductors") was filed by Victrex Manufacturing on Jan 19, 2016. The application was issued on Sep 18, 2024.
Insulated conductors for magnetic applications that provide enhanced performance in challenging environments. The insulated conductors feature a unique tape assembly where the insulating layer is produced through a controlled shrinkage process, with the tape being applied in a specific overlap arrangement. This assembly enables precise control over the layer's crystallinity and adhesion to the conductor, while minimizing blistering and oxidation issues typically associated with conventional PEEK insulation. The tape assembly is also optimized for the specific requirements of the application, including the design of the tape's overlap arrangement and the application of pressure to urge the tape into position.

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.
