    A strong patent can withstand opposition and become a key asset in conquering the market

    • Patents

    When a patent faces opposition and still stands, it becomes a force to be reckoned with. That’s exactly what happened with Impossible Foods’ patent. Initially revoked by the European Patent Office’s opposition division but later reinstated by the Board of Appeal.

    The patent covers the use of yeast heme proteins and flavor precursor molecules to create the taste and aroma of meat during cooking.

    For innovators in the food industry, this case is a powerful reminder: a strong patent can withstand opposition and become a key asset in conquering the market.
