Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A reversible electrochemical mirror (REM) includes a first electrode (106) and a second electrode (110), one of which is substantially transparent. An electrolytic solution (112), disposed between the first and second electrodes contains ions (116) of a metal which can electrodeposit on the electrodes depending on the applied potential. The electrolytic solution also contains halide and/or pseudohalide anions having a total molar concentration ratio of at least 6:1 compared to that of the electrodepositable metal. It is usually necessary to apply a surface modification layer (108) to the firs electrode to ensure uniform nucleation so that a mirror electrodeposit having high …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 20, 2000 and granted December 9, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 20, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 20, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
