Abstract From the Canadian patent

A printing head suitable for imaging a ferroelectric printing form is sealed relative to the printing form by a spring-elastic seal. In the discharge chamber of the printing head, at a low pressure, preferably less than 10 hPa, and especially in the presence of a gas with high ionization probability, a discharge plasma is created from which charge carriers emerge onto the printing form as the result of activation between electrodes with, simultaneous focusing by the application of electric and/or magnetic fields between plates.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 17, 1997 and granted September 11, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 17, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 17, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
