Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to protein chips useful for the large-scale study of protein function where the chip contains densely packed reaction wells. The invention also relates to methods of using protein chips to assay simultaneously the presence, amount, and/or function of proteins present in a protein sample or on one protein chip, or to assay the presence relative , specificity, and binding affinity of each probe in a mixture of probes for each of the proteins on the chip. The invention also relates to methods of using the protein chips for high density and small volume chemical reactions. Also, the invention relates to polymers useful as protein chip substrates and methods …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 4, 2001 and granted July 15, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 4, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 4, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
