Each descriptive layer is composed of plural frames; the frames of the lowermost knowledge descriptive layer are provided in association with the elements of a knowledge processing object system.

This determining is started and executed by the updating of the content of slots of the frames.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 11, 1991 and granted January 5, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 11, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 11, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
