Oppositions, Third-party notices and Nullity actions

When a patent has already been granted, an opposition to the patent may be filed with the national or European Patent Office for a limited period from the date of grant.

After the patent has been granted and the period for filing opposition has expired, the possibility remains to initiate an action for invalidity. This action is brought before the Court.

Since the work involved in oppositions is highly specialized and every case has its own specific characteristics, it will always be necessary to discuss this in detail in person.
