Why it's free to use

• Filed April 14, 1981 and granted October 25, 1984. An Australian standard patent lasts 20 years from its date of patent, which is at most a year after this filing, so its term ended by April 14, 2002.
• A pharmaceutical extension adds at most five years, so even that would have ended by April 14, 2007.
• We check Australian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
