Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A fibre channel (FC) signal representing block encoded data is applied to a block, decoder, which removes the block encoding from the data. The data is then applied to a, simplified data link (SDL) protocol encoder which maps the data into an SDL , protocol packet for transmission over a SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)-based transport, medium.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 3, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 3, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 3, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
