Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system and method for improving skating speed and strength of skaters particularly ice skaters, employs an inclined skating ramp. The skating surface itself may be any of the conventional or yet-to-be-invented artificial ice surfaces. The inclination of the ramp provides a greater challenge for the skating student than a conventional flat skating surface. While the inclined ramp may have more than one lane so that more than one student may skate side-by-side in competition with each other it is preferred to have only a single lane and employ a timing system so that a student is skating "against the clock" and therefore focused on improvement of individual performance.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 5, 2004 and granted June 18, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 5, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 5, 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.
