Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A ceramic arc tube for a metal halide discharge lamp is described wherein the lower end well of the arc tube has an internal barrier ridge which substantially prevents migration of the metal halide condensate into the central region of the discharge chamber during vertical operation. The use of the ridge reduces fluctuation in the color temperature of vertically operated lamps and improves efficacy.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 20, 2003 and granted April 17, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 20, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 20, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
