For US Patent 11244675, here's a detailed breakdown of its term and related applications:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) can extend the term of a US patent to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the examination process. These delays are categorized into different types (e.g., "A" delay for failure to issue a first office action within 14 months, "B" delay for failure to issue a patent within three years of filing, and "C" delay for delays due to interferences, secrecy orders, or appeals). Any PTA granted can be reduced by delays caused by the applicant.

The Google Patents record for US11244675 states an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2039-08-06. This indicates that the patent has received Patent Term Adjustment, extending its term beyond the standard 20 years from its filing date. The USPTO typically provides the official PTA calculation in the Issue Notification Letter.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are separate from PTA and are typically granted for patents covering products that require regulatory approval from agencies like the FDA (e.g., human drugs, medical devices, food additives). This extension compensates for time lost during the regulatory review process.

Based on the nature of the invention, "Word replacement in output generation for detected intent by voice classification," it is highly unlikely to be eligible for PTE, as it does not appear to cover a product subject to premarket government approval from a regulatory agency. There is no indication of any PTE for US11244675 in the provided information.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:

  • Continuation Applications: These are later-filed applications that claim priority to an earlier non-provisional application, disclosing and claiming subject matter also disclosed in the earlier application. They allow an applicant to pursue additional claims to an invention disclosed in an earlier application.
  • Divisional Applications: These are a specific type of continuation application filed when the USPTO determines that an initial application contains more than one independent and distinct invention (requiring a restriction requirement). The divisional application then pursues claims to the "divided out" invention.

The Google Patents page lists "Other versions" including US20190279631A1 [cite: The full patent text]. This is a published patent application that is a family member of US11244675B2. Typically, a granted patent (like US11244675B2) will have a corresponding application publication (US20190279631A1) that was published prior to the patent grant. This publication corresponds to the application number US16/295,034 from which the patent US11244675B2 issued.

The patent text explicitly states: "This application claims priority from Japanese Application No. 2018-044598, filed on Mar. 12, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in its entirety." [cite: The full patent text, Description] This indicates that the US application for US11244675 is a foreign priority application of the Japanese application.

Without direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Pair system for US11244675, it's not possible to definitively list all continuation or divisional applications. However, the mention of "US20190279631A1" confirms a related published application.

Projected Expiration Date:
The Google Patents record explicitly states the "Adjusted expiration" date for US11244675 as 2039-08-06. This date already incorporates any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) that may have been granted. [cite: The full patent text] The standard patent term is 20 years from the earliest filing date (March 7, 2019, for the US application), which would be March 7, 2039. The adjusted expiration date of August 6, 2039, indicates approximately five months of PTA. The USPTO does not calculate expiration dates for patents, but provides resources to help estimate them.
