Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The temperature of a glass cooktop is sensed by an elongated thermistor rod positioned below the cooktop. The thermistor rod has a negative temperature coefficient of electrical resistance and is connected in a control circuit for the cooktop heater. The opposite end portions of the thermistor rod are located outside of the housing for the cooktop heater so that electrical connections to such end portions are not exposed to extremely high temperatures.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 10, 1993 and granted September 22, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 10, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 10, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
