What is an opposition?
In certain countries (excluding the USA), any party who feels that a patent should not be granted has a period of time (which varies up to six months) after a patent office publishes a notice that it intends to grant a patent, to object to the granting of that patent. Both parties then argue their case before the patent office or a specific court, and a decision is made in favour of one of the parties.
