Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Compositions that are administered to a patient include a mixture of adipose tissue and stem cells so that the composition has a higher concentration of stem cells than when the adipose tissue was removed from the patient.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 9, 2002 and granted July 8, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 9, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 9, 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.
