Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention provides a dual cosmetic applicator and container for applying cosmetic, especially mascara to, the eyelashes in which a pair of eyelash brushes engage each other on the inside of a container holding a quantity of cosmetic. When an eyelash brush is removed from the container its bristles rub against the bristles of the other brush so as to mix the cosmetic which is applied to the brush. This mixing action tends to thin thixotropic cosmetic like mascara, making application of mascara to the eyelashes easier.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 13, 1989 and granted October 18, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 13, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 13, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
