Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to a new method of making the dimethacrylate ester of alkoxylated bisphenol-A via transesterification with methyl methacrylate. This transesterification reaction proceeds at low temperatures and is driven by the removal of methanol as a methanol/saturated hydrocarbon azeotrope. The lower temperature reaction advantageously inhibits polymerization of the feed ester. The reaction is catalyzed by potassium based catalysts.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 17, 1996 and granted February 8, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 17, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 17, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
