Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Mobile stations like handsets could cause disturbance at electronic equipment thereby endangering human lifes, and that's why the use of them sometimes at certain places is not allowed, for example inside planes during parts of a flight and inside hospitals. To prevent being dependent upon the user's decency the possible use of the, output of said handset could be deactivated by transmitting a deactivation signal from a base station to the handset, which deactivation signal either only deactivates said use for a predefined time-interval, or deactivates said use all the time until an activation signal originating from said base station has been received by said handset.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 3, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 3, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 3, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
