Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A package for an electrical/optical component includes an optical component (60) and one or more bridges (70, 71) of insulating material mounted in spaced relationship to the optical component (60). Electrical components are mounted on the bridge on a side opposite the optical component. Electrical connection from the electrical component to conductors on the side of the bridge facing the optical component (60) is made by plated through-hole connections extending through the bridge. Relatively short electrical connectors (73 73', 75, 75') are employed to interconnect the optical component with conductors formed on the bridge and to connecting pins (54) extending from the package.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 15, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 15, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 15, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
