Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The prior art method of estimating a sequence by making use of a viterbi algorithm is modified as follows: (1) A path at a certain past instant is modified to derive a modified path. (2) The path metric value of the modified path is calculated. (3) The path metric of a normal path and the path metric of the modified path are compared. If the path metric of the modified path is smaller, the path is modified. (4) A surviving path is selected from plural paths passing through the modified path.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 4, 1997 and granted October 22, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 4, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 4, 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.
