Extensions

Here's a detailed breakdown for US Patent 11,538,763:

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA)

Specific Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) data for US11538763 is not directly available from the provided patent text or the general search results. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants PTA to compensate patent holders for certain administrative delays during the patent examination process, such as the USPTO failing to issue a first office action within 14 months of filing, or failing to issue a patent within three years of the application filing date. The total PTA is an addition to the standard 20-year lifespan of a utility or plant patent. Without accessing the patent's file wrapper in the USPTO's Patent Center or Public PAIR system, the exact calculation and final PTA awarded for this specific patent cannot be determined.

Patent Term Extension (PTE)

Based on the nature of US11538763, which is titled "Chip package," it is highly unlikely to be eligible for Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTE is a statutory mechanism primarily intended for patents claiming products (such as human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products) that require premarket government approval from a regulatory agency like the FDA. PTE compensates for the patent term lost during this regulatory review process. As a chip package does not fall into these categories, it would not typically qualify for PTE.
