Why it's free to use
- Filed August 16, 2000 and granted November 22, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 16, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 16, 2022.
