Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Vitiligo and other tyrosinase-positive depigmentation disorders are treated by topical application of a pseudocatalase and subsequent exposure to a sub-minimal erythema dose of UVB light. After a course of treatment, pigmentation of the affected areas can be maintained by treatment with the pseudocatalase without UVB light treatment. The preferred pseudocatalases are transition metal co-ordination complexes, especially manganese (II) bicarbonate.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 15, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 15, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 15, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
