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 11233780, a direct search of the USPTO database for this specific patent number is necessary. Since I cannot directly access the live USPTO database, I will rely on information available through general patent search mechanisms and my internal knowledge of patent law principles.

Based on the information available for US Patent 11233780:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) can add days to the term of a U.S. patent to compensate for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process for utility or plant patent applications. This process applies to applications filed on or after May 29, 2000. The calculation of PTA is complex and involves accounting for specific USPTO delays (e.g., failing to issue an office action within 14 months, failing to respond to a reply within four months) and subtracting any applicant-caused delays. The official PTA calculation for a patent is typically included in the Issue Notification Letter mailed to applicants before the patent issues.

Without direct access to the official USPTO patent record for US11233780, the exact PTA for this patent cannot be definitively stated. However, the patent was filed on June 26, 2019, and issued on January 25, 2022. The period of prosecution was approximately 2 years and 7 months (31 months). Given that the USPTO aims to issue a patent within 36 months from the filing date, and issues an office action within 14 months, delays could accrue PTA. Any PTA granted would be added to the standard 20-year patent term.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extension (PTE) is available under the Hatch-Waxman Act (35 U.S.C. § 156) for patents claiming products (human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products) that require premarket regulatory approval from agencies like the FDA. PTE aims to restore a portion of the patent term lost during this regulatory review period, up to a maximum of five years, and the remaining patent term cannot exceed 14 years from the date of marketing approval.

Since US11233780 relates to an "Embedded universal integrated circuit card supporting two-factor authentication" for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things (IoT), it does not appear to claim a product that would typically be subject to premarket regulatory approval by agencies like the FDA. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that US11233780 would be eligible for a Patent Term Extension (PTE) under 35 U.S.C. § 156.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:
A patent granted on a continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part application filed on or after June 8, 1995, will have a term that ends 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application for which a benefit is claimed. The USPTO provides "Continuity Data" in its Public Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system, which shows parent and child applications.

Based on the Google Patents information for US11233780, the "Other versions" section and "Priority date" indicate related applications:

• US20190319937A1 (Publication of a related application on 2019-10-17).
• US16/453,682 (Application number, which is also the application number for US11233780B2, with a priority to US16/453,682 on 2019-06-26).
• US17/547,990 (Priority date of 2021-12-10 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US11916893B2 is associated with this priority.
• US18/416,534 (Priority date of 2024-01-18 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US12207094B2 is associated with this priority.
• US18/433,683 (Priority date of 2024-02-06 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US12490098B2 is associated with this priority.
• US18/435,042 (Priority date of 2024-02-07 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US12477340B2 is associated with this priority.
• US18/587,462 (Priority date of 2024-02-26 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US12477341B2 is associated with this priority.
• US19/387,056 (Priority date of 2025-11-12 to this application). This is likely a continuation or divisional application. The patent US20260075427A1 is associated with this priority.

These listed priority claims indicate that US11233780 is part of a patent family and has several child continuation or divisional applications that claim priority back to the original filing date of US16/453,682.

Projected Expiration Date:
The standard patent term for utility patents issued from applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, is 20 years from the earliest filing date for which a benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. § 120, 121, or 365(c). This term can be adjusted by PTA.

For US11233780:

• Filing Date: 2019-06-26
• Priority Date: 2013-12-06 (This is the earliest priority date listed, which is crucial for calculating the 20-year term).

The "Legal status" section on Google Patents explicitly states: "Active , expires 2034-01-04". This date already reflects any patent term adjustments. Based on the priority date of 2013-12-06, a 20-year term would typically end on 2033-12-06. The stated expiration date of 2034-01-04 suggests that a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) of approximately 29 days (from December 6, 2033, to January 4, 2034) was granted to compensate for USPTO delays during prosecution.
