Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Optical interference coatings useful on lamps for transmitting visible light radiation at about 90% average from 400-770 nm and for reflecting infrared radiation comprise three spectrally adjacent multiperiod stacks of alternating high and low index of refraction layers. Compared to conventional filters these filters have a greater tolerance to layer thickness variations incurred during manufacture with little or no color shift when viewed at non-normal angles.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 24, 1990 and granted October 24, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 24, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 24, 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.
