Abstract From the Canadian patent

A superconductor metal matrix composite formable into an electrical current carrying material. A superconductive particulate is intermixed with a normal metal matrix, pressed into form and heated to form the composite. The metal matrix surrounds the superconductive particulate to prevent loss of oxygen from the superconductive particulate so the particulate retains its superconductive properties. The metal matrix also becomes superconductive due to proximity effect.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 16, 1989 and granted August 24, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 16, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 16, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
