Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An implantable defibrillation/cardioversion system and method comprising an electrode having a plurality of discrete electrically conductive segments. The conductive segments are electrically isolated from each other and electrically connected to a defibrillation/cardioversion unit. An electrical pulse block is generated and chopped into a plurality of discrete pulse segments by the defibrillation/cardioversion unit and applied to the electrode so that each conductive segment receives a particular electrical pulse assigned from the series of pulses. In this way the concentration of gas, generated from ionic current produced by a high energy defibrillation pulse is reduced and more energy is …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 6, 1990 and granted December 15, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 6, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 6, 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.
