Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding US patent 10911186's patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date, it's best to directly access the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Patent Search tools. While I cannot directly perform live searches within these tools to extract a complete prosecution history, I can outline the general principles and what you would typically find.
US Patent 10911186 Details (as per publicly available information and general patent law):
- Filing Date: April 8, 2019 [cite: Filing date]
- Issue Date: February 2, 2021 [cite: Publication date, Application granted]
- Priority Date: March 4, 2015 [cite: Priority date] (This is the earliest priority date from PCT Application No. PCT/KR2016/002199 and Korean Patent Application No's. 10-2015-0030369, 10-2015-0036754, and 10-2015-0066670. The patent's term is generally calculated 20 years from its earliest effective filing date, which is typically the priority date of the earliest application to which it claims benefit.)
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
PTA is granted to compensate applicants for delays caused by the USPTO during patent prosecution (e.g., if the USPTO takes longer than 14 months to issue a first office action or if prosecution extends beyond three years). To determine the exact PTA for US 10911186, you would need to look at the "Patent Term Adjustment" tab within the patent's file history on the USPTO's Patent Center.
Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
PTEs are typically granted for patents covering products (like drugs, biologics, or medical devices) that require regulatory review before they can be marketed. This patent, relating to wireless communication, is unlikely to have a PTE, as it does not appear to fall into these categories. The official USPTO record would confirm this.
Continuation Applications:
The patent text indicates that this application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/555,075, filed January 2, 2018. This earlier application is itself a U.S. National Stage Application of PCT Application No. PCT/KR2016/002199, filed March 4, 2016, which claimed priority to several Korean Patent Applications filed in 2015. [cite: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS]
The Google Patents "Other versions" section also lists US20190238272A1 as another version. This likely refers to the patent application publication. [cite: Other versions]
Divisional Applications:
Divisional applications arise when a patent application claims more than one invention, and the applicant files separate applications for the inventions not elected in the original application. The provided patent text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications for US 10911186. An examination of the patent's family tree on the USPTO website would be necessary to identify any such applications.
Related Family Members:
Based on the cross-reference information, the patent family for US 10911186 includes:
- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/555,075 (parent continuation application) [cite: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS]
- PCT Application No. PCT/KR2016/002199 [cite: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS]
- Korean Patent Application No's. 10-2015-0030369, 10-2015-0036754, and 10-2015-0066670 (priority applications) [cite: CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS]
- US20190238272A1 (publication of the parent continuation application) [cite: Other versions]
The Google Patents page also lists subsequent priority claims to US17/145,670 (dated 2021-01-11), US18/209,079 (dated 2023-06-13), and US18/911,756 (dated 2024-10-10). These indicate further continuation or divisional applications within the family. [cite: Priority to US17/145,670, Priority to US18/209,079, Priority to US18/911,756]
Projected Expiration Date:
For U.S. utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally ends 20 years from the earliest effective filing date of the application, with any applicable patent term adjustments (PTA) added.
The earliest priority date for US 10911186 is March 4, 2015. [cite: Priority date] Therefore, without considering any PTA, the base expiration date would be March 4, 2035.
The Google Patents page indicates an "Anticipated expiration" of 2036-03-04. [cite: Anticipated expiration] This suggests that there has been approximately one year of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted for this patent. To confirm the exact PTA calculation, one would need to consult the patent's official file history on the USPTO website.
