The invention is directed to compositions containing growth agents synthesized from cultured cells from skin. Skin cells such as keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts are cultured in vitro in cell medium and in the course of culture the cultured cells synthesize and secrete agents into the cell medium.

The preparation is applied and has a rejuvenating effect on the cells and tissue.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 23, 2000 and granted June 11, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 23, 2020.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 23, 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.
