Extant literature has analyzed the determinants of oppositions, while the drivers of opposition outcomes are less known. We study 290 EPO biotech patent oppositions filed in 2012–2019. There are three possible outcomes of opposition proceedings: patent revocation, patent amendment, and opposition rejection. We find that opponents who know the patent's technology are more likely to obtain a patent revocation, while opponents who compete in the product market with the patent owner are more likely to receive a rejection. 000048572 542__ $$fhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0172219023000108 000048572 588__ $$aCrossref 000048572 590__ $$aPublished online: 11-Mar-23 000048572 650_0 $$aPatent procedure. 000048572 650_0 $$aPatent offices. 000048572 650_0 $$aPatents. 000048572 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000048572 7001_ $$aD'Agostino, Lorena M.,$$eauthor. 000048572 7001_ $$aTiraboschi, Lorenzo,$$eauthor. 000048572 7001_ $$aTorrisi, Salvatore,$$eauthor. 000048572 7730_ $$tWorld Patent Information$$wWPI 000048572 830_0 $$aWorld Patent Information ;$$v73, June, 2023. 000048572 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.wpi.2023.102185$$yonline version 000048572 904__ $$aJournal article 000048572 980__ $$aWPI
