Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Contemporary infection by Helicobacter pylori in a human or other mammal can be detected by detecting H. pylori-specific IgG antibody in saliva or other mucous, secretion, with an antigen preparation from H. pylori. Diagnosis depends on detection of the antigen-antibody complex. For improved reliability, the antigen preparation comprises H. pylori-derived components of about 265 kDa and about 340 kDa and is substantially free of an H. pylori-derived component of about 440 kDa. The antigen preparation may be immobilised onto a solid support such as a nitrocellulose strip.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 29, 1993 and granted November 11, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 29, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 29, 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.
