Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An apparatus for the particle mediated genetic transformation of organisms in vivo has two parts, a support unit and a hand unit (34). The hand unit (34) is of a convenient hand manipulable size so that it can be placed readily against the organism the cells of which are to be transformed. The hand unit (34) is connected to the suport unit by a flexible umbilical (56, 68) so that the hand unit (34) can be placed where desired. The apparatus is particularly well adapted for the convenient transformation of somatic cells of whole animals or humans.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 21, 1991 and granted April 23, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 21, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 21, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
