Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To find the detailed information regarding US patent 10306667, including patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date, a direct search on the USPTO Patent Center or Patent Public Search is required. While the provided text offers general definitions and mechanisms for these aspects, it does not contain the specific data for patent 10306667 itself.
As a general rule, a U.S. utility patent filed on or after June 8, 1995, expires 20 years from its earliest effective filing date, subject to any patent term adjustments or extensions.
Without direct access to the USPTO Patent Center or Patent Public Search live data for patent 10306667, I cannot provide the exact PTA, PTE, or a definitive projected expiration date. However, based on the information provided in the prompt:
- Filing Date: January 16, 2017.
- Issue Date: May 28, 2019.
- Anticipated Expiration (without adjustments): The standard patent term is 20 years from the filing date. Therefore, without any adjustments, the patent would expire on January 16, 2037.
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
PTA compensates applicants for certain delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution. These delays can include:
* Failure to issue a first Office Action or notice of allowance within 14 months of filing.
* Failure to respond to an applicant's reply within 4 months.
* Failure to issue a patent within 4 months of the issue fee payment.
* Prosecution exceeding three years from the filing date.
The USPTO automatically calculates PTA, and the amount can be reduced by delays caused by the applicant. This information is typically provided on the patent's front page or in the Patent Center.
Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
PTE is distinct from PTA and is available for patents covering certain products (e.g., human drugs, medical devices, food additives) to restore patent term lost due to regulatory review periods before commercial marketing. There is no indication in the provided patent text or metadata that US10306667 is subject to a PTE.
Continuation and Divisional Applications:
The prompt states the patent's application number is US15/772,799 and lists "Priority to US15/772,799" as a critical event, and also lists "US201715772799A" as an application number. The priority date is listed as February 17, 2016. The patent also claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 62/296,082, filed on Feb. 17, 2016, and 62/239,172, filed on Apr. 28, 2016. For patents granted on continuation or divisional applications, the term typically expires 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application for which a benefit is claimed.
Related Family Members:
The provided text identifies several related applications and publications:
- Priority Applications: US Provisional Application Nos. 62/296,082 (filed Feb. 17, 2016) and 62/239,172 (filed Apr. 28, 2016).
- International Application: PCT/KR2017/000527 (filed Jan. 16, 2017), which resulted in WO2017142210A1.
- Other versions/publications: US20180324840A1.
- Other family members listed under "Also Published As": EP4262131A3, EP3419203A4, EP3419203B1, KR101966132B1, EP4262131B1, EP3419203A1, EP4262131A2, KR20180098405A, WO2017142210A1, EP4262131C0. These are international and foreign counterparts, part of the broader patent family.
Projected Expiration Date:
Based on the filing date of the earliest priority application, US Provisional Application No. 62/296,082 on February 17, 2016, the base 20-year patent term would extend to February 17, 2036. This date would then be adjusted by any PTA. Without specific PTA data from the USPTO for patent 10306667, the anticipated expiration date is February 17, 2036, plus any applicable Patent Term Adjustment. The Google Patents page for US10306667 also indicates an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2037-01-16. This discrepancy might be due to the difference in how the "earliest filing date" is interpreted for the 20-year term calculation or the inclusion of PTA. To confirm, direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center for the specific patent number would be necessary.
