Abstract From the Canadian patent

Adjacent first and second transistors are integrated with a substrate. Each of the, first and second transistors has a gate electrode a source electrode, a drain , electrode and a semiconductive channel formed of an organic material the semiconductive , channel, electrically coupling the source electrode with the drain electrode. The source electrode, of the first transistor is electrically coupled to the source electrode of the second, transistor. A molecular receptor is bound directly to a surface of the semiconductive, channel of the first transistor. A non-zero offset voltage which produces , equal channel, currents in the semiconductive channels of the first and second transistors …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 4, 1997 and granted November 5, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 4, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 4, 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.
