Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention provides for a method for ordering an advertising spot for an advertisement over a data network to be transmitted to a target user during a transmission of a motion picture. An advertiser first provides to a broadcaster a predetermined constraint that defines the target user for receiving the advertisement. Then the broadcaster uses the predetermined constraint to determine a price for the advertising spot. The price is then offered by the broadcaster to the advertiser and the advertiser then orders the advertising spot based on the price to place the advertisement in the advertising spot to be transmitted to the target user during the transmission of a motion picture.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 11, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 11, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 11, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
