Abstract From the Canadian patent

Cold-stretchable sheet material is isostatically formed at an operating temperature beneath the softening temperature of the sheet material by means of a fluid pressure medium at a pressure of more than 20 bars so as to produce a deep-drawn formed plastics piece. Forming may take place abruptly. The sheet to be formed may be provided with a coating such as an ink imprint. The resulting thin-walled deep-drawn piece may be backed and reinforced by injecting further plastics material.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 1, 1989 and granted January 19, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 1, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 1, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
