Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Augmentation of electrical conduction and contractility by biphasic stimulation of muscle tissue. A first stimulation phase has a first phase polarity, amplitude, and duration. The first stimulation phase which acts as , a conditioning mechanism is administered at no more than a maximum subthreshold amplitude. A second stimulation phase has a second polarity amplitude, and duration. The two phases are applied sequentially. Contrary to current thought, anodal stimulation is applied as the first stimulation phase followed by cathodal stimulation as the second stimulation phase. In this fashion, pulse conduction through muscle is improved together with an , increase in contractility. …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 21, 1999 and granted November 25, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 21, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 21, 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.
