Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention is directed to promoters of flax conlinin and ro-3 desaturase genes. The promoters guide high levels of the expression exclusively in flax developing seeds. This specific expression pattern concomitant with the biosynthesis of storage lipids and proteins make these promoters particularly useful for seed-specific modification of fatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 6, 2002 and granted June 4, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 6, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 6, 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.
