Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
When an oxide superconducting thin film is formed on a substrate by a vapor phase method such as laser ablation, for example, a plurality of grooves are formed on the substrate by photolithography or beam application in the same direction with an average groove-to-groove pitch of not more than 10 µm, so that the oxide superconducting thin film is formed on a surface provided with such a plurality of grooves. Thus promoted is growth of crystals of the oxide superconducting thin film in parallel with the grooves, whereby respective directions of a-axes and c-axes are regulated to some extent. This improves critical current density of the oxide superconducting thin film.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 19, 1991 and granted December 10, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 19, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 19, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
