Why it's free to use
- Filed December 15, 1998 and granted March 30, 2000. 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 December 15, 2019.
- A pharmaceutical extension adds at most five years, so even that would have ended by December 15, 2024.
- We check Australian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
