Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Design software that is relatively easy to use and provides that a user need not be skilled at reading stress plots. The design software takes design requirements into account and indicates whether the proposed design meets the design requirements. The design software provides numerical output values for comparison to numerical design requirement input values so the user can readily see whether, and how, the design is unacceptable or is over-designed.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 27, 2002 and granted February 26, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 27, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 27, 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.
