Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) may be sputter-coated or ion-plated with palladium to yield palladium coated LCP parts. These may be electrolytically plated, as with copper, using normal or unusually high current densities to , make metal plated LCP in which the metal has good adhesion to the LCPs. Before or after the electrolytic plating, the metal coating may be patterned. Parts containing patterned metal surface may be used as circuit boards or printed wire boards.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 27, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 27, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 27, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
