Extensions

Here's a detailed breakdown of US patent 11119756 regarding its prosecution history and projected expiration:

Continuation and Divisional Applications

• Continuation Applications: US11119756B2 is explicitly identified as a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/054,004, which was filed on August 3, 2018. The contents of the parent application are incorporated by reference.
• Divisional Applications: The provided patent text and search results do not explicitly mention any divisional applications stemming from US11119756B2.

Related Family Members

The patent family (ID=67438231) includes several related applications and publications:

• Parent Application: US16/054,004 (which issued as US10719309B2).
• Priority Application: US16/921,461 (the application number for US11119756B2 itself, which also serves as a priority document for other applications claiming its priority).
• Other Published Versions/Family Members:
  • US20200334031A1 (a publication of an earlier stage of the US16/921,461 application)
  • CA3050108A1
  • EP3605319A1
  • US20200042301A1
  • US10719309B2 (the patent resulting from the parent application US16/054,004)

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

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): Information regarding specific Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) for US11119756B2 is not available in the provided patent text or general public search results. PTA is typically calculated by the USPTO to compensate for administrative delays during patent prosecution (e.g., if the USPTO fails to meet certain deadlines, such as issuing an office action within 14 months of filing or issuing a patent within 36 months of filing). The USPTO automatically determines and transmits a notice of PTA on or before the patent's issuance date.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): There is no indication in the patent text or search results that US11119756B2 has received a Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTEs are typically granted to patents claiming products (e.g., human drugs, medical devices, food additives) that have undergone a regulatory review period before commercial marketing, to restore time lost during that review. Given the technical field of "System and method for controlling updates to internet-of-things devices," it is unlikely to be eligible for a PTE.

Projected Expiration Date

The patent text explicitly states the Anticipated expiration: 2038-08-03. This date is consistent with the general rule that utility patents filed after June 7, 1995, have a term that begins on the issue date and ends 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application, taking into account any priority claims. In this case, the priority date of 2018-08-03 for the parent application US16/054,004 dictates the 20-year term.
