Abstract From the Canadian patent

Bandwidth is increased and noise may be reduced in a shared hybrid fiber-coax transmission system (10) by digitally modulating upstream information onto a high frequency band (e.g. 750-1000 MHz) and thereafter digitally regenerating both the high frequency upstream information as well as a portion of the downstream information not used for broadcast video (i.e. the 500-750 MHz band).

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 13, 1997 and granted April 3, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 13, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 13, 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.
