Abstract From the Canadian patent

A view system is disclosed which provides support for a mechanism to provide a multitask-safe wrapper or objects which are not multitask safe. This mechanism makes it possible to use objects that are not task-safe in a multitasking environment without modifying or understanding the internal workings of the said objects. This mechanism is not view system-specific but is provided and used by the view, system to support such behaviour.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 12, 1994 and granted December 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 12, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 12, 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.
