Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate patent owners for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. It adds additional time to the standard 20-year patent term.

To determine the specific PTA for US11080758, access to the patent's prosecution history in USPTO's Patent Center or Open Data Portal is generally required. Without direct access to this specific data for US11080758, a precise PTA cannot be stated. However, the Google Patents record for US11080758 does not indicate any PTA granted in the "Legal status" section.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

Patent Term Extension (PTE) is available for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore time lost during the pre-market government approval process from a regulatory agency like the FDA.

Based on the subject matter of US11080758, which relates to delivering targeted advertisements and natural language processing, it is highly unlikely to be eligible for Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156, as it does not fall within the categories of products requiring pre-market regulatory approval.

Projected Expiration Date

For US utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally expires 20 years from the earliest filing date of the patent application, plus any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) or Patent Term Extension (PTE), and considering any terminal disclaimers.

US11080758 claims priority back to February 6, 2007. Therefore, the base 20-year term would typically end on February 6, 2027.

As of the current date (May 18, 2026), the Google Patents record for US11080758 indicates an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2027-02-06. This date aligns with the 20-year term from the earliest priority date, suggesting that no significant PTA was granted, or if it was, it was offset by applicant delay, or no PTE was applied.
