Abstract From the Canadian patent

A pilot operated control valve has a body with an inlet and an outlet. A main valve poppet is movable within the body to selectively control flow of fluid between the inlet and outlet. The main valve poppet has a flexible diaphragm with a pilot passage therethrough which is opened and closed by movement of a pilot poppet. The diaphragm flexes due to a pressure differential that acts on the pilot poppet which, flexing compensates for adverse effects that the pressure differential has on the operation of the pilot poppet.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 2, 2000 and granted March 18, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 2, 2020.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 2, 2022.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
