Abstract From the Canadian patent

A multi-party reliable transport protocol for use by a higher layer application. A single session source distributes database updates to multiple receivers via a distribution tree. A node desiring to join a session selects a directly-connected node on a path upstream to a source by accessing unicast routing protocol information and sends a "Join" message to this upstream neighbor. Each node participating in the scheme handles retransmission requests from its directly-connected downstream neighbors. A supported application provides storage of previously transmitted information for potential retransmission.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 24, 2003 and granted January 15, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 24, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 24, 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.
