Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An engine controller provides for automatic starting of an internal combustion engine and engagement of a clutch to bring a driven load into motion. Automatic stopping and clutch disengagement is also provided. The engine controller is equipped with an operator interface which can be used by an operator to issue instructions to the controller. This operator interface can be implemented as a local keyboard display or as a remote communications link. The operator interface is also able to communicate changes in engine operating parameters so that starting performance can be improved and the engine can easily be adapted to different conditions and applications.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 31, 1999 and granted April 9, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 31, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 31, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
