Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A vapor deposition method for making preforms from which optical waveguide fibers are drawn wherein at least a first precursor compound is oxidized at one oxidation site and at least a second precursor compound, which is different from the first precursor compound, is oxidized at a second oxidation site. The method is particularly applicable in cases where the first and second precursor compounds are chemically incompatible with one another or where the flow rate of the second precursor compound is substantially lower than the flow rate of the first precursor compound.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 28, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 28, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 28, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
