Abstract From the Canadian patent

A process for decolorizing sugar solutions by contacting them with highly crosslinked, macroporous copolymers functionalized with weak-acid or weak-base ion exchange functional groups is disclosed. Treatment of sugar syrups using macroporous functionalized adsorbents allows for multiple regeneration cycles without loss of sugar decolorization properties.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 8, 1998 and granted August 13, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 8, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 8, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
