Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and apparatus for transferring encrypted information to a database. First certification information is transferred from a first database to a second database. Second certification information is then transferred from the second database to the first database, where both the first certification information and the second certification information is authenticated. If both certifications are authenticated, the transfer of the encrypted information to the second database is enabled.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 12, 1997 and granted March 6, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 12, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 12, 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.
