Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a process for molding a copolymer of a polyalkylene glycol terephthalate and an aromatic ester comprising the steps of: a) preparing a solution of the copolymer in a suitable first solvent; and b) forming a gel of the solution. This enables a solid body of a polymer to be produced without subjecting it to the high temperatures required for obtaining a melt.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 4, 2000 and granted May 22, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 4, 2020.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 4, 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.
