Yes,its the flat pack-NNLX orders the plates=last published order by NNLX for plates was 150,000 plates-and 30000 sold in one day- and then NNLX fills the plates and vacuum processes (the science guys can get more technical if they wish) so the agar remains viable for 2-3 years,compared to 3 months for other peoples agar filled plates.
By sept 7 they had registered the patent in 14 European countries,as per the 11-27-17 update,but only 3 non-EU countries had published in their countries-so was no EU publication,which as per the 11-27-17 update was necessary for final validity-something buyers could depend on.
Now it has been published in the entire European Registry,so its good for all European signatory countries. "The entry in the Register of European Patents will be automatically generated by the electronic data processing system".
Further information from this notice: "This European patent has become wholly equivalent to a bundle of national patents in the designated states in which the patent was validated".
The publication in the EU Patent Registry is the essential and final step.....
The implication is the the European Union was waiting to see if anybody else contested NNLX patent during the stated waiting period-since nobody contested the NNLX patent The EU published it-now nobody can contest or compete with NNLX PATENT IN THE EU.

NanoLogix is pleased to announce receipt today (dated 11 April 2018) of notice from the European Patent Office (EPO) of the expiration of the nine-month opposition filing period for the FlatPack petri plate extended-life packaging patent (European Patent No. 2699491). The reason for this update from Nanologix is to inform all interested parties that out of the fourteen signatory countries chosen and paid for the registration and validation of the Flatpack Patent in early September 2017, prior to the receipt of this notice from the EPO, of the signatory states for the EU Patent treaty only the three non-EU member states of Sweden, Croatia, and Turkey had published notice of validation of the Flatpack patent in their respective patent bulletins.
Notice from the EPO states: "The entry in the Register of European Patents will be automatically generated by the electronic data processing system".
Further information from this notice: "This European patent has become wholly equivalent to a bundle of national patents in the designated states in which the patent was validated".
The publication in the EU Patent Registry is the essential and final step to enable NanoLogix to offer a fully registered and validated patent in the EU for license and/or sale. This step is in accordance with the Company's stated goal of using receipts from those efforts to fund expansion of agar-filled petri plate production in the US and complete development and pursue marketing of both the N-Assay modified ELISA rapid bacteria diagnostic test and its associated Pre-test.
