Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An image processing device prints a maximum possible number of frames of an original image on one or more printing materials. A CPU develops the frame and printing material information stored in the memory area so that a maximum number of possible frames can be placed within the printing material by selecting the layout and magnifying/reducing the frames. By switching the alternative print material according to a previously determined priority, the printing operation is continued without any interruption even if the printing material initially selected runs out during the printing. The boundaries between frames are drawn by lines for convenience to separate each frame after printing.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 20, 1990 and granted June 8, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 20, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 20, 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.
