Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Genes encoding insect-specific paralytic neurotoxins particularly those of insect-parasitic mites including Pyemotes, are, described. Recombinant DNA molecules in which the neurotoxin coding sequences are placed under the control of heterologous promoters are also described, Such molecules are useful for the development of biological insect control agents which produce insect-toxic levels of the neurotoxin. Specifically described are genetically altered baculoviruses which produce insect-specific paralytic neurotoxins and which display improved toxic effect on insects. Insect-toxic compositions are also provided. Methods of insect control using these neurotoxin genes methods for production …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 1, 1991 and granted August 3, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 1, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 1, 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.
