Extensions

To provide details on Patent Term Adjustments (PTA), Patent Term Extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 11204736, I need to access the official USPTO records for this specific patent. The provided text from Google Patents offers some information, but a direct search of the USPTO database or Patent Center is necessary for a complete and authoritative answer, as the USPTO does not calculate expiration dates for patents and provides a calculator for estimation.

Based on the provided patent text, here's what can be extracted:

1. Continuation Applications:
The patent text states that US11204736 is a Continuation Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/421,141, filed May 23, 2019. This in turn is a Continuation In Part of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 16/155,919, filed Oct. 10, 2018, which is a Continuation of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304, filed Sep. 23, 2015. This earliest non-provisional application claims priority from U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62/054,286, filed on Sep. 23, 2014.

2. Divisional Applications:
The provided patent text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications for US11204736.

3. Related Family Members:
Based on the continuation chain, the related family members mentioned in the provided text include:

• U.S. application Ser. No. 16/421,141 (filed May 23, 2019)
• U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 16/155,919 (filed Oct. 10, 2018)
• U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304 (filed Sep. 23, 2015)
• U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62/054,286 (filed Sep. 23, 2014)

The "Priority date" listed on Google Patents for US11204736 is September 23, 2014 [cite: 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.) 2014-09-23]. This corresponds to the filing date of the provisional application.

4. Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
The provided patent text does not explicitly state the amount of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted for US11204736. PTA is calculated by the USPTO to compensate for administrative delays during patent prosecution and is included in the Issue Notification Letter. Factors contributing to PTA include delays by the USPTO in issuing office actions (more than 14 months from filing), responding to applicant replies (more than 4 months), or issuing a patent (more than 4 months after issue fee payment, or more than 36 months from filing). Applicant-caused delays can reduce any awarded PTA. To determine the precise PTA, one would typically need to consult the patent's file wrapper in USPTO's Patent Center.

5. Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
The provided patent text does not indicate any Patent Term Extensions (PTE) for US11204736. PTEs are typically granted for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore patent term lost due to premarket government regulatory review. Since US11204736 relates to audio sensing and management systems, it is unlikely to be eligible for a PTE under 35 U.S.C. § 156.

6. Projected Expiration Date:
The general rule for utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, is that the term expires 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application, subject to any PTA or terminal disclaimers.

Given the earliest priority date for US11204736 is September 23, 2014 (from provisional application 62/054,286) [cite: 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.) 2014-09-23], the base 20-year term would extend to September 23, 2034.

However, the Google Patents information also lists an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2035-09-23 [cite: 2035-09-23 Anticipated expiration]. This suggests that there might have been a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) of approximately one year. Without direct access to the USPTO's official patent file or a PTA calculation from Patent Center, it is not possible to definitively confirm the exact PTA, but the Google Patents' "Anticipated expiration" date implicitly accounts for any such adjustment.

Therefore, the projected expiration date, including the anticipated adjustment, is September 23, 2035 [cite: 2035-09-23 Anticipated expiration].
