Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To provide a complete analysis of US patent 10289547, I will retrieve information regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date directly from the USPTO database.
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE)
The USPTO does not calculate expiration dates for patents, but provides a patent term calculator as a resource to help estimate the expiration date. Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) can extend the term of a U.S. patent to compensate for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. This adjustment is added to the standard 20-year lifespan of the patent, measured from its earliest non-provisional filing date. Patent Term Extension (PTE), on the other hand, mitigates term loss due to other reasons, most importantly regulatory approval and/or review processes.
To determine specific PTA or PTE for US patent 10289547, one would need to access the patent's file history through the USPTO's online systems (e.g., Patent Center or Public PAIR) to review the official calculations. Without direct access to these specific documents, I cannot provide the exact PTA or PTE awarded to US patent 10289547.
Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members
- Continuation Applications: A continuation application is a new patent application filed to pursue additional claims to an invention already disclosed in an earlier, still-pending "parent" application. It uses the same specification as the parent and claims priority from the parent's filing date. New subject matter cannot be added to a continuation application.
- Divisional Applications: A divisional application arises when the USPTO determines that an original patent application claims more than one independent and distinct invention (a "restriction requirement"). The applicant can then file a divisional application for the non-elected invention(s), which retains the parent's filing date and priority. Like continuations, divisional applications cannot introduce new subject matter beyond what was disclosed in the original specification.
- Continuation-in-Part (CIP) Applications: A CIP application repeats a substantial portion of the parent application and adds new subject matter not disclosed in the earlier case.
To identify any continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part applications, and other related family members for US patent 10289547, a detailed review of the patent's "Related U.S. Application Data" section and the prosecution history on the USPTO website would be necessary.
Based on the initial information provided:
US10289547B2 claims priority from U.S. application Ser. No. 14/621,318, filed on Feb. 12, 2015, which itself claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/940,269, filed on Feb. 14, 2014, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/940,313, filed on Feb. 14, 2014. This indicates that US10289547B2 is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 14/621,318. The publication US20170220463A1 is also listed as "Other versions," which typically indicates a patent application publication related to the granted patent.
Projected Expiration Date
Most U.S. patents have a term of 20 years from the earliest nonprovisional filing date. Since US patent 10289547 is a utility patent, its term would generally be 20 years from its earliest claimed priority date, plus any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA).
The earliest priority date for US patent 10289547 is February 14, 2014 (from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/940,269 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/940,313). Therefore, the base expiration date would be February 14, 2034. The patent details state an "Anticipated expiration" of 2035-02-12, which suggests that there has been a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) applied, extending the term by almost a year.
Projected Expiration Date: February 12, 2035.
