Abstract From the Canadian patent

Rinse-added fabric conditioning compositions containing cationic soil release polymers are much more effective than similar compositions containing nonionic soil release polymers for soil release. Most of the cationic soil release polymers are new compounds comprising a hydrophobic alkylene oxide/terephthalate portion which has a low molecular weight and at least a single cationic charge under use conditions.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 9, 1990 and granted April 22, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 9, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 9, 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.
