• Application Filing Date: October 23, 2018 (Application No. US 16/168,703)

• Patent Term: 20 years from October 23, 2018.

Based on this calculation and in the absence of any term adjustments, the projected expiration date for US Patent 11,760,963 is October 23, 2038. The Google Patents page for this patent indicates an "Adjusted expiration" of 2040-11-05. This discrepancy may be due to a significant PTA that is not immediately apparent in the basic bibliographic data. A detailed review of the file wrapper would be required to confirm the source of this adjustment. However, based on the filing date, the baseline expiration is 2038.
