Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 30, 1999 and granted May 20, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 30, 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.
