Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A computer program (item 101), written in a high level programming language is compiled (item 103) into an intermediate data structure (105) which represents its control and data flow. This data structure is analyzed (item 111) to identify critical blocks of logic which can be implemented as an application specific integrated circuit (item 117) to improve the overall performance. The critical blocks of logic are first transformed into new equivalent logic with maximum data parallelism. The new parallelized logic is then translated into a Boolean gate representation which is suitable for implementation on an application specific integrated circuit (item 117). The application specific …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 29, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 29, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 29, 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.
