Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention provides binding moieties for fibrin which have a variety of uses wherever detecting, isolating or localizing fibrin and , particularly fibrin as opposed to fibrinogen is advantageous. Particularly , disclosed are synthetic isolated polypeptides capable of binding fibrin and recognizing the form of polymerized fibrin found in thrombi. In addition the , polypeptides have a slow dissociation rate from fibrin which improves their , ability to form a contrast image at the site of a fibrin clot making the , disclosed binding moieties particularly useful as imaging agents for thrombi.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 21, 2001 and granted June 26, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 21, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 21, 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.
