Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A head suspension has an integrated multi-layer trace conductor array for supporting and electrically interconnecting a read/write head to electronic circuitry in a disk drive. The electrical micro strip transmission line characteristics of the conductor array is controlled by the selective placement and connection of the trace paths within the multiple layers in order to control and balance electrical parameters including array inductance, inter-trace capacitance, and trace capacitance to a ground plane. The ground plane may further comprise a solid sheet of material or an arrangement of grounded traces disposed in proximity to signal-carrying traces of the micro strip transmission line in …

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 29, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 29, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 29, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
