Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of analysing a nucleic acid involves the use of a mixture of labelled oligonucleotides in solution and an array of immobilised oligonucleotides. The target nucleic acid is incubated with the mixture of labelled oligonucleotides. Those labelled oligonucleotides which hybridise are recovered and incubated with the array of immobilised oligonucleotides. Sequence information is obtained by observing the location of the label on the array. The method is particularly suitable for determining differences between nucleic acids.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 19, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 19, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 19, 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.
