Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A toeboard for a raised working platform advantageously cooperates with known construction systems to simplify securement and allow efficient setup. Each toeboard has connectors at either end of an elongate body member. Each connector has two fingers extending in a manner to intersect with a longitudinal axis of the elongate member. The connectors at opposite ends of the elongate body have an opposite orientation of said fingers where the fingers of one connector are 180 degrees out of alignment with the fingers of the other connector. This arrangement allows toeboards to connect easily in an end to end manner as well as in a perpendicular manner.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 26, 2004 and granted January 10, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 26, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 26, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
