Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A precision thick film resistor has a deposited thick film conducting layer which is adjacent to and in contact with a deposited thick film resistive layer. A laser scribed line, having a width on the order of 2 mils separates the conductive region into two parts and then extends into the resistive layer. The value of the resistor is set based on the extent that the line extends into the resistive layer. A plurality of thick film conducting elements can be formed by depositing a continuously extending thick film conducting layer on a substrate. Laser scribed lines can be used to isolate various conducting elements in the deposited film from one another. Elements are separated from one …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 1, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 1, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 1, 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.
