For US patent 10339520, here's a detailed breakdown of its patent term, related applications, and projected expiration date:
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) and Patent Term Extension (PTE):
The provided patent information indicates an anticipated expiration date of 2034-03-17. This date is likely to include any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) that may have been granted. PTA is awarded to compensate applicants for delays caused by the USPTO during patent prosecution. Patent Term Extension (PTE), on the other hand, is granted to compensate for delays in obtaining regulatory approval for a patented product, which is not typically applicable to this type of patent unless it's related to a regulated product. The search results do not explicitly state the amount of PTA or if any PTE was granted, but the "Anticipated expiration" date suggests PTA has been factored in.
Continuation Applications:
US10339520 is a continuation application itself. It claims benefit of and priority to several earlier applications:
- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/981,757, filed Dec. 28, 2015 (now U.S. Pat. No. 9,760,884).
- U.S. Non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/680,979, filed Apr. 7, 2015 (now U.S. Pat. No. 9,224,083).
- U.S. Non-provisional patent Ser. No. 14/217,261, filed Mar. 17, 2014.
- U.S. Provisional Patent No. 61/794,891, filed Mar. 15, 2013.
A continuation application presents claims for an invention disclosed in a prior, co-pending non-provisional application, without introducing new subject matter.
Divisional Applications:
The provided text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications stemming directly from US10339520. Divisional applications arise when an examiner determines that a patent application claims more than one independent and distinct invention and requires the applicant to restrict the application to a single invention. The other inventions can then be pursued in divisional applications.
Related Family Members:
Based on the priority chain, the following are related family members:
- US Pat. No. 9,760,884 (from application Ser. No. 14/981,757)
- US Pat. No. 9,224,083 (from application Ser. No. 14/680,979)
- US20180247300A1 (publication of the parent application US15/701,261, which matured into US10339520B2).
- US10810579B2 (priority to US16/459,150).
- US11176538B2 (priority to US17/075,637).
- US11620634B2 (priority to US17/528,073).
- US12505423B2 (priority to US18/125,624).
Projected Expiration Date:
The patent record explicitly states an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2034-03-17. In the U.S., the term of most patents is 20 years from the earliest non-provisional filing date, with potential adjustments for USPTO delays (PTA) or regulatory review delays (PTE). Given that the earliest priority date is March 15, 2013, the base 20-year term would typically end around March 15, 2033. The anticipated expiration date of March 17, 2034, suggests approximately one year and two days of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) has been added to the base term.
