Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In ATM networks, digital data in ATM cells are sent to a destination node over more than one transmission link in round robin fashion. This is called inverse multiplexing. At connection start-up, the source node informs the destination node of the specific round robin fashion of the transmission links so that the ATM cells are reassembled in a proper sequential order.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 2, 1995 and granted May 26, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 2, 2015.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 2, 2017.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
