Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To provide precise details on Patent Term Adjustments (PTA), Patent Term Extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 11096797, direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Search database for this specific patent is typically required. While general information about patent term calculation and different types of applications is available, the exact figures for PTA or PTE and a definitive list of all related applications are usually found on the patent's file wrapper or in a detailed search within the USPTO's own systems.
Based on the provided patent text and general knowledge of USPTO practices:
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
- PTA: Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for delays incurred by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. This can add days to the standard 20-year term. The specific PTA for US11096797 would be calculated by the USPTO and typically appears on the front page of the issued patent or in the patent's transaction history. Without direct access to the USPTO file for US11096797, the exact number of PTA days cannot be determined at this time.
- PTE: Patent Term Extension (PTE) is awarded to compensate for delays in obtaining regulatory approval for a patented product, commonly seen with pharmaceuticals. There is no indication in the patent text that US11096797, being a medical device, has received or is eligible for PTE, but this would require verification through official USPTO records.
Continuation and Divisional Applications:
The "CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" section of US11096797 explicitly states its relationship to a lengthy chain of prior applications, indicating it is a continuation application itself:
- "This application is a Continuation Application of application Ser. No. 16/025,667, filed on Jul. 2, 2018, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,426,633." [cite: The full patent text states: "This application is a Continuation Application of application Ser. No. 16,025,667, filed on Jul. 2, 2018, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,426,633".]
This chain further details numerous continuation and continuation-in-part relationships, ultimately claiming priority back to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/670,231, filed on April 12, 2005.

Projected Expiration Date:
For patents granted on applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally ends 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application to which a benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. §§ 120, 121, 365(c), or 386(c). The earliest priority date for US11096797 is April 12, 2005, from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/670,231. [cite: The full patent text states: "Priority date (The priority date is an assumption and is not a legal conclusion. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.) 2005-04-12".]
Therefore, the statutory 20-year term would typically end on April 12, 2025. However, the Google Patents information for US11096797 lists an "Adjusted expiration" date of December 26, 2025, and a legal status of "Expired - Lifetime". [cite: The full patent text mentions this as 'Adjusted expiration , expires 2025-12-26' and 'Expired - Lifetime , expires 2025-12-26'.] This adjusted expiration date likely accounts for any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) that was applied due to USPTO delays during prosecution.
