Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 20, 2005 and granted February 19, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 20, 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.
