According to http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/status/ http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/status/ it is a patent case, which I interpret to mean it's still in force. (After the captcha, select patent number and enter 5345551, note the lack of commas)(IANAL and could be wrong.) (Sorry, I can't link directly to the page, it's a crappy application).
- pwg 14y agoThat look-up just reports that the application became a patent. That status there does not determine its expiration date. Barring something exceptional it died over a year ago.
- jimktrains2 14y agoI know it gets updated if the owner doesn't pay the renewal fees, so I figured it would show when it wasn't in force any more ::shrug::
