For US patent 11349200, titled "Multiple-body-configuration multimedia and smartphone multifunction wireless devices," the following details are available:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) can extend the term of a U.S. patent to compensate for delays by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. This includes delays such as not issuing a first office action within 14 months, not responding to an applicant's reply within four months, or not issuing a patent within four months of the issue fee payment. The patent term can also be extended if the patent does not issue within three years of the actual filing date. Conversely, any extension can be reduced if delays are caused by the applicant.

Patent Term Extension (PTE) is awarded to compensate for delays in obtaining regulatory approval for a patented product or methods of manufacturing or using the product. The provided patent information does not specify any granted PTA or PTE for US11349200. To determine the exact PTA, a direct review of the patent's issue certificate or the USPTO's Patent Center for this specific patent would be necessary.

Continuation and Divisional Applications:
A continuation application is an application for an invention already disclosed in a prior, co-pending non-provisional application, where no new subject matter is added. A divisional application is filed when an earlier application contained claims to more than one invention, and the applicant chose to prosecute only one invention in the original application. The claims in the divisional application must also be for subject matter disclosed in the original parent application. The provided patent information for US11349200 lists "US17/246,192" as the application number, and "US20210351493A1" as another version. It also lists "Priority to US17/704,942" on 2022-03-25, "Priority to US18/339,523" on 2023-06-22, and "Priority to US18/782,669" on 2024-07-24. These "Priority to" entries indicate that US11349200 claims benefit from these earlier-filed applications, suggesting a potential chain of continuation or divisional applications. However, without direct access to the full prosecution history from the USPTO Patent Center, the exact nature (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part) of these relationships cannot be definitively determined from the provided text.

Related Family Members:
Based on the provided information, the patent family includes:

  • US11349200B2 (the granted patent)
  • US20210351493A1 (an earlier publication of this patent application)
  • US17/246,192 (the application number for US11349200)
  • US17/704,942 (a priority application, potentially a parent or related case)
  • US18/339,523 (a priority application, potentially a parent or related case)
  • US18/782,669 (a priority application, potentially a parent or related case)

Projected Expiration Date:
The anticipated expiration date for US11349200 is listed as 2026-12-21. This date is derived from the standard 20-year patent term from the earliest filing date, adjusted for any PTA or PTE. Since the patent was filed on April 30, 2021, and granted on May 31, 2022, and has a priority date of 2006-07-18, the expiration date is likely calculated from the earliest priority date, possibly with the addition of any PTA. The stated "Anticipated expiration" of 2026-12-21 suggests that the patent term calculation has considered the relevant priority dates and any adjustments.
