Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
High strength, high porosity delivery devices have a shaped surface and disintegrate quickly in an aqueous medium. The devices can be prepared by disposing a formulation in a die to form a frozen predevice. A second die is contacted with the frozen formulation surface at a pressure and temperature for a time sufficient to locally momentarily liquify and shape the device surface. The shaping is followed by lyophilization.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 4, 1992 and granted June 16, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 4, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 4, 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.
