To provide a detailed analysis of US patent 10814058, I will break down the requested information. The primary resource for this information is the USPTO website, specifically its Patent Public Search tool and Patent Center.
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate a patent applicant for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the patent examination process. These delays can include:
- Failure to issue a first Office Action or notice of allowance within 14 months of the filing date.
- Failure to respond to an applicant's submission within four months.
- Failure to issue a patent within three years of the actual filing date.
The patent term can also be reduced due to applicant delays.
To determine the exact PTA for US10814058, one would typically review the "Patent Term Adjustment" section of the patent's file wrapper in the USPTO's Patent Center or Open Data Portal. Without direct access to the official USPTO file wrapper for US10814058, the specific PTA amount cannot be definitively stated here. However, the Google Patents information indicates an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2038-11-30. [cite: US10814058B2] This adjusted date reflects any PTA that may have been granted.
Patent Term Extensions (PTE)
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are available for patents covering certain products, such as human drugs, medical devices, food additives, color additives, and animal drugs, to restore a portion of the patent term lost due to pre-market regulatory review by agencies like the FDA.
Key aspects of PTE include:
- The extension cannot exceed five years.
- The total patent term, including the extension, cannot exceed 14 years from the date of marketing approval.
- Applications for PTE must be filed within 60 days of regulatory approval.
- Only one patent can be extended per approved product.
Given that US10814058 is titled "Nasal aspiration and wash device," it falls under the category of a medical device, making it potentially eligible for PTE. However, a PTE would only be granted if the device underwent a regulatory review period prior to commercial marketing, and an application for PTE was filed and approved by the USPTO in consultation with the relevant regulatory agency (e.g., FDA). Without specific information regarding FDA approval and a granted PTE, it cannot be confirmed whether US10814058 has received a PTE. The Google Patents legal status lists the patent as "Active, expires 2038-11-30," which aligns with an adjusted expiration date but does not explicitly detail a PTE. [cite: US10814058B2]
Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members
A patent family refers to a set of patents or patent applications filed in various countries that relate to a single invention and share at least one common priority.
A continuation application is a second application for the same invention claimed in a prior non-provisional application and is filed before the patenting or abandonment of the first application.
A divisional application is filed when an examiner determines that an initial patent application contains more than one invention. The applicant is required to elect one invention to proceed with, and divisional applications can be filed for the unelected inventions, using the same specification and often the same drawings as the original application.
According to Google Patents, US10814058B2 is part of a patent family. Its filing number is US15/854,668. [cite: US10814058B2]

Projected Expiration Date
The standard term for a U.S. utility patent filed on or after June 8, 1995, is 20 years from its earliest effective filing date, subject to any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE), and potentially terminal disclaimers.
For US10814058:
- Filing Date (Application US15/854,668): 2017-12-26 [cite: US10814058B2]
- Priority Date: 2016-12-23 [cite: US10814058B2]
- Standard 20-year term from filing date: December 26, 2037
Google Patents lists an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2038-11-30. [cite: US10814058B2] This indicates that the patent has received Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) due to USPTO delays during prosecution. The adjusted expiration date provided by Google Patents already incorporates any granted PTA.
Therefore, the projected expiration date for US patent 10814058 is November 30, 2038. [cite: US10814058B2] This date would only change if a Patent Term Extension (PTE) is later granted (which is typically for pharmaceuticals or medical devices undergoing regulatory review) or if a terminal disclaimer has been filed. No terminal disclaimers are explicitly mentioned in the provided information for this patent.
