Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 4, 1999 and granted July 2, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 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.
