Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A posable figure includes a one-piece integrally molded armature defining a plurality of integrally molded joint members which provide articulation of the elements of the armature. A one-piece molded skin, preferably formed of a plastic or rubber material, is molded about the armature as a single unitary covering completely enclosing the armature with the exception of the hand and foot portions thereof. The various molded joints of the armature are structured to provide the desired limitations on articulation to duplicate a human figure.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 25, 1990 and granted December 1, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 25, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 25, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
