Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A mushroom-type hook strip for a hook-and-loop fastener has a flexible backing of thermoplastic resin and integral with backing, an array of upstanding stems distributed across at least one face of the backing, each having a mushroom head. The stems have a molecular orientation as evidenced by a birefringence value of at least 0.001. The mushroom-type hook strip can be produced continuously by injecting resin into cavities of a cylindrical mold while evacuating and cooling the cavities so that the cooled resin becomes molecularly oriented, thus affording to the stems excellent stiffness, durability, and tensible and flexural strength.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 19, 1991. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 19, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 19, 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.
