Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A color temperature selector for a television receiver which can select a color temperature using electrical control signals. The emitter of a drive transistor is fixedly connected to one resistor which is connected in parallel with two selective resistors to change the emitter resistance value. The two selective resistors are selectively connected to the fixed resistor using general semiconductor switches. This arrangement allows a remote controller to select a color temperature by a control signal, and allows to select a desired combination of color temperature setting states.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 26, 1992 and granted August 31, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 26, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 26, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
