### Patent Term and Family Data for U.S. Patent No. [11,104,245](/patent/11104245)

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) / Patent Term Extensions (PTE):

A review of the front page of U.S. Patent No. 11,104,245 indicates a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) of 0 days. There is no information to suggest a Patent Term Extension (PTE) has been filed or granted. PTE is typically associated with delays in regulatory review for products like pharmaceuticals and is not applicable to this patent's technology.

Continuity and Related Family Data:

U.S. Patent No. 11,104,245, which issued from application number 16/653,958, filed on October 15, 2019, is a continuation of several earlier applications. The patent claims priority to the following applications, establishing a chain of continuity:

• U.S. Patent No. 9,123,035: Filed on April 22, 2012, from application Ser. No. 13/452,882.
• U.S. Patent No. 9,229,905: Filed on March 15, 2013, from application Ser. No. 13/842,158.
• U.S. Patent No. 9,189,900: Filed on October 25, 2013, from application Ser. No. 14/063,638.

This patent is part of a larger family of related patents and applications, indicated by the "Related U.S. Application Data" section on the patent's face. The relationship between these applications is that of continuation, where a later application is filed before the original (parent) patent is granted or abandoned, and the later application can claim the benefit of the parent's filing date.

Projected Expiration Date:

For U.S. utility patents filed after June 8, 1995, the term is 20 years from the earliest non-provisional application filing date to which priority is claimed. In this case, the earliest priority date claimed is April 22, 2012, from application Ser. No. 13/452,882, which led to U.S. Patent No. 9,123,035.

Therefore, the projected expiration date for U.S. Patent No. 11,104,245 is April 22, 2032. This calculation is based on the 20-year term from the earliest priority date and does not account for any potential disclaimers that are not immediately apparent from the provided information. The payment of required maintenance fees is also necessary to keep the patent in force for its full term.
