Dr. Drolet's 1990 Copyrighted (Rhumart System), "MBI-3000 RESC Controller", model # 7802.

Electro-magnetic therapeutic system is the English title of Canadian Patent 1,113,156 which was issued in 1981. The inventors Dr. Roland A. Drolet and Gaetan Charland, both from Canada, claimed that the device was an "electro-magnetic device for treating various types of rheumatic and arthritic diseases."

History

On the 24 of November 1981 Dr. Drolet and Mr. Charland received patent approval for their electro-magnetic therapeutic system. Their drawings, as portrayed within the Canadian patent, labeled the device "Ri - 2000 MAGNETOTHERAPY SYSTEM". By 1983, Dr. Drolet and Mr. Charland where issued another patent titled "ELECTRO-MAGNETIC THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD" which described the "Ri - 2000" in much further details and labeled the device as "Ri -2000 RHUMART-THERAPY SYSTEM". This second patent maintained many similar characteristics to the 1981 patent. In fact both patents drew and labeled their devices with "RODROL INSTRUMENTATION INC.". Free World Trust was the rightfull owners of the patents of invention numbered 1,113,156 (the “'156 patent”) and 1,150,361 (the “'361 patent”) issued in 1981 and 1983 respectively.

On December 15 2000, in the case of Free World Trust v. Électro Santé Inc., a decission was rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada on the infringement of patents 156 and 361. The decission would create a legal precedence cited within hundred of Canadian trials. The case was even noted in Canada for setting out "the test for patent infringement" and "the principales of purposive claim construction".
