Extensions

US Patent 11129591, "Echocardiographic image analysis," was granted on September 28, 2021, and its projected expiration date is September 3, 2038. This date is provided by the Google Patents record and reflects any adjustments.

Here's a breakdown of other requested patent information for US11129591:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): PTA can be granted to a patent to extend its term beyond 20 years from the earliest filing date, compensating for administrative delays by the USPTO during prosecution. The USPTO's automated system calculates PTA at the time of patent issuance and includes it in the Issue Notification Letter. To determine the exact PTA for US11129591, one would typically review the patent's issue notification or the electronic file wrapper in Patent Center. The provided information indicates the patent's expiration date already includes any adjustments, so an explicit PTA value is not given, but it is factored into the September 3, 2038, expiration.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): PTEs are granted under 35 U.S.C. § 156 to compensate for delays incurred in obtaining regulatory approval for certain products, such as human drugs, medical devices, food additives, and veterinary biological products. To determine if US11129591 has a PTE, one would need to check if an application for PTE was filed and granted, which typically occurs for patents related to products requiring premarket government approval from a regulatory agency. The current information does not explicitly state whether US11129591 has received a PTE, but its subject matter (echocardiographic image analysis, a medical device-related field) could potentially be eligible.
• Continuation Applications: A continuation application shares the same disclosure as its parent but pursues different claims and cannot introduce new subject matter. It must be filed before the patenting, abandonment, or termination of proceedings on the earlier application. The provided information does not explicitly list any continuation applications for US11129591.
• Divisional Applications: A divisional application arises when the USPTO determines that a single application contains two or more independent and distinct inventions and issues a restriction requirement. The applicant then elects one invention to prosecute in the parent application and can file a divisional for the others. The provided information does not explicitly list any divisional applications for US11129591.
• Related Family Members: The Google Patents record indicates that US20190125298A1 is an "other version" of this patent, which would typically be a related family member (e.g., a published application).
• Projected Expiration Date: The patent is active and projected to expire on September 3, 2038.
