Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Heterogeneous surface with polar functional groups as nucleation points. These nucleation points cause precipitation of a substance for example ice or salt, in a fluid at these nucleation points under suitable physical conditions because the Gibbs free energy of the system is lower at the nucleation points than between the nucleation points, where said system comprises said surface and said fluid with said substance near said surface.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 8, 2002 and granted August 5, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 8, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 8, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
