We know that the validity of an important patent can be a key commercial concern. We will provide you with tactical advice and expert help to promote your interests.
Sometimes a competitor patent will represent a threat or block to progress and its revocation or amendment is necessary. Oppositions to European patents require the use of the Opposition procedure at the European Patent Office, which allows the validity of granted European patents to be challenged centrally. Our attorneys are well versed in preparing and filing such oppositions. They will determine the commercial relevance of the patent and any perceived weaknesses, and then advise on a suitable strategy for achieving a successful outcome.
