Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system for loading motor vehicles onto and, unloading motor vehicles from, a transporting vehicle enables motor vehicles to be supported one above the other on a frame, after which the frame with its supported motor vehicles is moved as a unit onto a transporting vehicle at a loading location. After transport of the frame and its motor vehicles from the loading location to a destination, the motor vehicles are unloaded from the transporting vehicle not as a unit but rather individually while the frame remains on the transporting vehicle.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 27, 1994 and granted January 6, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 27, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 27, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
