An Opposition is the only way to challenge the validity of a European Patent centrally and can result in the complete revocation of the patent in all designated states.

In this podcast episode, Dehns Partner and Oppositions expert Laura Ramsay takes a look at Oppositions and how the system works in Europe:

• What is an Opposition?
• What are the grounds for Opposition and what’s the procedure?
• When does an Opposition need to be filed?
• What if someone files an Opposition against one of my granted patents?
• How long can the process take and how much might it cost?
• How can a patent attorney help?

All these questions, and more, are answered by Laura in less than 15 minutes.
