Extensions — US Patent 10735488

The searches confirm that the USPTO does not calculate expiration dates for patents, but provides a calculator for estimation. PTA is granted for USPTO delays during prosecution of utility or plant patent applications. PTE applies to specific types of patents, primarily for human/animal drugs, medical devices, and food/color additives, to compensate for regulatory review periods. Given the patent's title ("Method of downloading digital content to be rendered"), it's highly unlikely to qualify for PTE.

The Google Patents page already provided some details regarding the patent family. The task specifically asks to search the USPTO database for this information. While I cannot directly perform an interactive search on Patent Center/Patent Public Search and extract the exact PTA/PTE, the previous Google Patents output did list related applications and an anticipated expiration. I should explicitly state that I am referencing the information found on the Google Patents page, as it usually aggregates this type of data from the USPTO and is a direct source provided in the prompt's authoritative patent text.

For PTA, without direct access to the "Issue Notification Letter" or "Patent Center" detailed views for this specific patent, I cannot provide the exact number of days of adjustment. I can only describe what PTA is and that it's calculated by the USPTO.

For continuation/divisional applications and related family members, the Google Patents page explicitly lists these under "Other versions" and "CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" in the description. I will extract this information and present it, clearly citing the Google Patents page.

Finally, for the projected expiration date, the Google Patents page gives an "Anticipated expiration 2026-12-12." I will report this, noting the USPTO's stance on not calculating expiration dates and that this is an "anticipated" date.

Let me now extract the specific details from the provided patent text, explicitly citing it.

The current patent US10735488B2 is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/358,354, which itself is a continuation of previous applications, tracing back to a provisional application and a PCT application. This indicates a chain of continuation applications. No explicit divisional applications are mentioned by name "divisional" in the chain, but continuations can sometimes be filed after restriction requirements (though not explicitly stated here for this chain).

I cannot directly retrieve the exact PTA from the USPTO via search results as an external observer; this detail is typically found in the official issue notification or through specific interactive access to Patent Center's prosecution history for the patent. However, I can explain what PTA is and state that the information isn't directly extractable via public web search in numerical form for this specific patent. The same applies to PTE, and based on the patent's subject matter, it's highly unlikely to have PTE.

I will clearly state my limitations in obtaining the exact PTA/PTE figures directly from a live USPTO database search. However, I can compile the continuity data provided in the patent itself.For US patent 10735488, the following details regarding its prosecution history, family members, and projected expiration date are available:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

The exact Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) for US10735488 cannot be determined directly through general web searches of the USPTO database. PTA is calculated by the USPTO to compensate for administrative delays during the patent prosecution process for utility or plant patent applications. This calculation is typically provided in the Issue Notification Letter at the time of patent issuance and is visible within the patent's prosecution history on the USPTO's Patent Center (formerly Public PAIR). Without direct, interactive access to Patent Center for this specific patent's full prosecution history, the precise number of adjusted days cannot be reported.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are generally granted for patents covering certain human drugs, animal drugs, medical devices, or food/color additives, to restore patent term lost due to regulatory review periods (e.g., by the FDA). Given the title and subject matter of US10735488 ("Method of downloading digital content to be rendered"), it is highly unlikely to be eligible for or to have received any Patent Term Extension.

Continuation and Divisional Applications; Related Family Members

US10735488 is part of a patent family that includes a chain of continuation applications. According to the "CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" section of the patent, it is a continuation of the following U.S. patent applications, tracing back to an International Application and a Provisional Application:

The patent also lists US20190044993A1 as another version, which is the publication of a related application [cite: https://patents.google.com/patent/US10735488/en]. There is no explicit mention of "divisional" applications by name within the provided patent text, but the chain of continuations is clearly defined.

Projected Expiration Date

The anticipated expiration date for US10735488 is December 12, 2026 [cite: https://patents.google.com/patent/US10735488/en]. It is important to note that the USPTO does not officially calculate or provide patent expiration dates, but offers resources like a patent term calculator for public estimation. The actual expiration date can be influenced by several factors, including the earliest effective filing date in a patent family, any applicable patent term adjustments, terminal disclaimers, and the timely payment of maintenance fees.
