Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids in plants plant parts and plant cells, such as leaves roots, fruits and seeds. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding PKS-like genes required for the poly-unsaturated long chain fatty acid production, including the genes responsible for eicosapentenoic acid production of Shewanella putrefaciens and novel genes associated with the production of docosahexenoic acid in Vibrio marinus are used to generate transgenic plants, plant parts and cells which contain and express one or more transgenes encoding one or more of the PKS-like genes associated with such long chain …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 4, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 4, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 4, 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.
