Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 4, 1992 and granted January 28, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 4, 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.
