Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention relates to a method for using genetic type learning techniques in connection with designing a variety of neural networks that are optimized for specific applications. In the invention herein a general representation of neural network architectures is linked with the genetic learning strategy to create a flexible environment for the design of custom neural networks. A concept upon which the invention is based is the representation of a network design as a "genetic blueprint" wherein the recombination or mutation of subsequently generated editions of such blueprints result in different but related network architectures.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 21, 1990 and granted December 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 21, 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.
