Extensions — US Patent 10959123

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

A specific value for Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE) for US Patent 10959123 is not directly available in the provided text or through a basic search of public USPTO databases without direct access to the patent's full prosecution history (file wrapper).

PTA is granted to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. These delays are defined by specific timeframes for USPTO actions, such as issuing an office action within 14 months of filing or issuing a patent within 4 months of the issue fee payment.

PTE, conversely, is typically associated with delays due to regulatory review periods, most commonly for pharmaceutical patents, under 35 U.S.C. § 156. There is no indication that US10959123 falls under the categories for PTE.

To definitively determine any PTA or PTE, one would generally need to consult the "Patent Term Adjustments" tab in the patent's file wrapper on the USPTO website.

Projected Expiration Date

The anticipated expiration date for US10959123B1 is 2033-07-22. This date is calculated as 20 years from the earliest priority date, which is 2012-07-24 (the filing date of U.S. Provisional Pat. App. No. 61/675,288). [cite: US10959123B1]

According to U.S. patent law, for applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally ends 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application for which a benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121, or 365(c). Since US10959123 claims priority back to a provisional application filed on July 24, 2012, its 20-year term would typically run from that date. The stated anticipated expiration date of 2033-07-22 aligns with this principle.
