Abstract From the Canadian patent

A superconducting device comprises a superconducting channel constituted in an oxide superconductor thin film deposited on a deposition surface of a substrate. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed on the oxide superconductor thin film at opposite ends of the superconducting channel, so that a superconducting current can flow through the superconducting channel between the superconductor source electrode and the superconductor drain electrode. A gate electrode is formed through a gate insulator layer on the superconducting channel so as to control the superconducting current flowing through the superconducting channel. The gate electrode is in the form of a thin film and …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 31, 1991 and granted March 31, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 31, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 31, 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.
