Abstract From the Canadian patent

A motion vector derivation unit (11) includes a comparison unit (20) for comparing a parameter TR1 for a reference vector with a predetermined value to determine whether it exceeds the predetermined value or not; a switching unit (21) for switching selection between the maximum value of a pre-stored parameter TR and the parameter TR1 according to the comparison result by the comparison unit (20); a multiplier parameter table (for multipliers) (22); and a multiplier parameter table (for divisors) (24) for associating the parameter TR1 with a value approximate to the inverse value (1/TR1) of this parameter TR1.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 28, 2003 and granted August 21, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 28, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 28, 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.
