Extensions

To determine the specifics of US Patent 10412141 regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date, I will use information from the USPTO and general patent law principles.

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) for US10412141

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. It adds time to the 20-year term of a utility or plant patent. The official PTA calculation is included in the Issue Notification Letter.

Without direct access to the official Issue Notification for US10412141, the exact PTA amount cannot be definitively stated. However, the patent was filed on September 19, 2018, and issued on September 10, 2019. This relatively short prosecution period suggests that significant PTA may not have accrued, as PTA is generally granted when the USPTO fails to issue a patent within three years of the filing date or fails to meet other specific deadlines (e.g., issuing an office action within 14 months, responding to an applicant's reply within four months).

Patent Term Extension (PTE) for US10412141

Patent Term Extension (PTE) is available for patents claiming products (e.g., human drugs, food/color additives, medical devices, animal drugs) that require premarket regulatory approval, to restore patent term lost during the approval process.

US10412141 relates to "Systems and methods for seeking within multimedia content during streaming playback," which does not fall into the categories of products eligible for PTE under 35 U.S.C. § 156. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that US10412141 has received or is eligible for any Patent Term Extension.

Continuation and Divisional Applications for US10412141

• Continuation Applications: A continuation application is a second application for the same invention claimed in a prior non-provisional application and is filed before the original application becomes abandoned or patented. No new subject matter can be added to a continuation application.
• Divisional Applications: A divisional application is filed when an examiner determines that a patent application contains more than one invention and requires the applicant to select one. The non-elected inventions can then be pursued in divisional applications, using the same specification and drawings but with different claim scope.

According to the provided patent text, US10412141B2 is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/682,379. This indicates that US10412141 itself is a continuation application. The patent text also lists several "Priority Applications" and "Applications Claiming Priority," which detail the lineage of the patent family.

Projected Expiration Date

For utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally expires 20 years from the earliest filing date of the patent application, with adjustments for PTA.

The earliest priority date for US10412141 is January 5, 2007, from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/883,659. Therefore, the nominal expiration date would be 20 years from this date:

January 5, 2007 + 20 years = January 5, 2027.

The Google Patents page for US10412141 lists an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2028-01-07. This suggests there is a Patent Term Adjustment of approximately one year and two days (January 7, 2028 - January 5, 2027 = 1 year, 2 days). This would align with the USPTO's PTA system which aims to compensate for delays in prosecution. Without access to the official Issue Notification, the specific breakdown of this PTA cannot be determined.
