Abstract From the Canadian patent

A reclosable sack having a mouth from which contents may be discharged, including a primary non-reclosable stitched fastener across and closing the mouth. The stitched fastener includes a removable chain stitch and tear strip for facilitating manual opening of the primary fastener. The reclosable sack also includes a secondary reclosable fastener having a pair of interlocking profile strips that are attached at lower inner wall portions to the upper edge of the sack walls outboard of the stitched fastener. The secondary profile fastener is heat sealed at its ends and allows the sack to be reclosed once the primary non-reclosable fastener has been removed.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 14, 1990 and granted January 29, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 14, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 14, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
