Extensions

To provide the most accurate details regarding Patent Term Adjustments (PTA), Patent Term Extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 11775831, a direct search of the USPTO's Patent Center or Assignment Center is required. General search results indicate how these are calculated but do not provide specific values for this particular patent.

Based on the information available and general patent law:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): PTA compensates for delays caused by the USPTO during patent prosecution. The USPTO automatically determines and transmits a notice of PTA no later than the patent's issuance date. An applicant can request reconsideration of this determination within two months of issuance.

  • Specific PTA for US11775831: Not explicitly stated in the provided text or search snippets. To find the specific PTA, one would need to access the official file wrapper for US11775831 through USPTO Patent Center.

• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): PTEs are available for patents covering certain products, primarily pharmaceuticals and medical devices, to restore patent term lost due to regulatory review delays (e.g., FDA approval). The maximum extension is generally five years, and the total patent term with PTE cannot exceed 14 years from the date of FDA approval.

  • Specific PTE for US11775831: Given that US11775831 relates to "Cascaded computing for convolutional neural networks," which is a computing/AI technology, it is highly unlikely to be eligible for a Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156, as this typically applies to products requiring regulatory approval like drugs or medical devices.

• Continuation Applications:

  • US11775831 is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/335,775, filed on March 22, 2019.
  • This application (16/335,775) itself is a U.S. National Stage Application under 35 USC § 371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/US2017/052736, filed on September 21, 2017.

• Divisional Applications:

  • The provided patent text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications related to US11775831.

• Related Family Members:

  • Priority Applications:
    • U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/399,753, filed on September 26, 2016.
    • International Patent Application No. PCT/US2017/052736, filed on September 21, 2017.
    • U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/335,775, filed on March 22, 2019 (which led to US11556779B2).
  • Other Published Applications/Granted Patents in the Family:
    • US20230222339A1 (Publication of a related application).
    • WO2018057749A1 (International publication from PCT/US2017/052736).
    • US11556779B2 (Granted patent from US16/335,775, titled "Cascaded computing for convolutional neural networks," shares the same priority date).

• Projected Expiration Date:

  • The patent states an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2037-09-21.
  • For U.S. utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the general term is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the patent, or the earliest filing date of a parent application to which priority is claimed. The priority date for US11775831 is September 26, 2016. A 20-year term from this priority date would be September 26, 2036. The slightly later anticipated expiration date of 2037-09-21 suggests there might be a patent term adjustment (PTA) that added approximately one year to the patent's life. This is a common occurrence due to USPTO delays during prosecution.
