Patent No. EP4208394 (titled "Packaging With Paper Material") was filed by Koehler Innovation & Technology on Sep 6, 2021. The application was issued on Dec 25, 2024.
A gas-tight packaging comprises at least one piece of coated paper consisting of a base paper and at least three sequential coatings. Starting from the base paper, the coatings comprise a first barrier layer of at least one hydrophobic polymer, a second barrier layer of at least one hydrophilic polymer, and a third barrier layer of at least one hydrophobic polymer. The packaging is characterized by a precoat situated between the base paper and the first barrier layer, which comprises at least one inorganic pigment and a polymeric binder. The structure is designed to reduce or prevent the transfer of substances, particularly hydrophobic substances, between the barrier layers and is suitable for packaging oxidation-sensitive, moist, and fatty products.

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.
