Overview
Its claims, description and drawings are in the Canadian Patents Database.
Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Low-power-dissipation CMOS oscillator circuits include inductors and capacitors forming tank circuitry. Cross-connected MOS devices provide positive feedback to replenish losses in the tank circuitry and thereby sustain oscillations. Each such oscillator circuit simultaneously generates complementary output sine-wave signals.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 20, 1994 and granted September 30, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 20, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 20, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
