Extensions

To provide a comprehensive analysis of US Patent 11011014, I will detail its patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation and divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date based on available information.

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. This can extend the 20-year lifespan of a U.S. utility or plant patent. Delays that can trigger PTA include failure by the USPTO to:

• Issue a first office action within 14 months of filing.
• Respond to an applicant's reply or an appeal within four months.
• Act on an application within four months after a decision by the PTAB or a federal court.
• Issue a patent within four months after payment of the issue fee.
• Issue a patent within 36 months from the filing date.

Any accrued PTA can be reduced if the applicant delays prosecution.

Specific PTA data for US Patent 11011014 is not explicitly provided in the patent text or the search results, however, the Google Patents page for US11011014B1 does not show any granted PTA. To determine the exact PTA, if any, the official USPTO Patent Center or a patent term calculator that utilizes USPTO data would be required.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are available for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore time lost during premarket government approval from a regulatory agency like the FDA. PTE can extend a patent for up to 5 years.

Given that US Patent 11011014 relates to "Systems, methods, and media for implementing internet-based wagering," it is highly unlikely to be eligible for Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156, as it does not fall into the categories of products requiring premarket regulatory approval (e.g., drugs, medical devices).

Continuation and Divisional Applications

• Continuation Application: A continuation application is filed for an invention disclosed in a prior, copending nonprovisional application, without introducing new subject matter. It allows the applicant to pursue a new set of claims and further examination.
• Divisional Application: A divisional application is filed when an original patent application contains more than one invention. The examiner may require the applicant to elect one invention to proceed with, and the unelected inventions can be pursued in one or more divisional applications. Divisional applications maintain the same filing date as the parent application.

US Patent 11011014 states in its "CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION" section that it is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/268,218, filed Feb. 5, 2019.

The Google Patents page further indicates the following relationships:

• Parent Application: US16/268,218 (US10629024B1), filed 2019-02-05.
• Child Application: US17/246,557 (US11756371B1), filed 2021-04-30.

This establishes a patent family where US11011014B1 is a continuation of US10629024B1, and US11756371B1 is a continuation of US11011014B1.

Related Family Members

The patent text and Google Patents page indicate the following related family members:

• US Provisional Patent Application No. 62/626,590: Filed February 5, 2018 (priority date for US11011014B1).
• US Patent Application Serial No. 16/268,218 (US10629024B1): This is the parent application from which US11011014B1 claims continuation.
• US Patent Application Serial No. 17/246,557 (US11756371B1): This is a child application, claiming priority from US11011014B1.
• Other members of the patent family (Family ID=70284933):
  • US16/268,218 (US10629024B1), filed 2019-02-05.
  • US16/852,049 (US11011014B1), filed 2020-04-17.
  • US17/246,557 (US11756371B1), filed 2021-04-30.

Projected Expiration Date

For utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally expires 20 years from the earliest effective filing date of the application, with any applicable patent term adjustments (PTA) added. Provisional applications do not count toward the 20-year term calculation.

The earliest priority date for US Patent 11011014 is February 5, 2018, which is the filing date of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/626,590. The non-provisional application US16/268,218 was filed on February 5, 2019, which is also the priority date for US11011014. Therefore, the 20-year term would typically be calculated from February 5, 2019.

Based on a 20-year term from the earliest non-provisional filing date (February 5, 2019), the anticipated expiration date for US Patent 11011014 would be February 5, 2039. The Google Patents page also lists an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2039-02-05. This date can be impacted by any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or terminal disclaimers, but as noted above, specific PTA data is not readily available, and PTE is unlikely to apply.
