Extensions

To find the most accurate information on patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 11900016, a direct search of the USPTO Patent Center or Patent Public Search database is necessary. Google Patents provides some high-level information, but for detailed legal status and family history, the official USPTO records are authoritative.

However, based on the provided patent text and the Google Patents information (which I am instructed to prefer over training data if contradictory), here's what can be gathered:

US Patent 11900016: Term and Family Information

• Publication Number: US11900016B2
• Filing Date (Application US17/555,813): 2021-12-20
• Issue Date: 2024-02-13
• Priority Date: 2014-09-23 (claimed from US Provisional Application No. 62/054,286)

1. Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for certain delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution, adding time to the standard 20-year patent term. The Google Patents record for US11900016B2 indicates an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2035-11-14. This adjusted expiration date implicitly includes any PTA awarded. To determine the precise amount of PTA, one would typically examine the "Issue Notification" or "Patent Data" in the official USPTO file wrapper for the patent.

2. Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are available for patents covering certain products (like human drugs, medical devices, food additives) to restore patent term lost due to delays in regulatory review (e.g., FDA approval). The patent describes "distinct applications including sound output control, hazardous millimeter-wave, blue light or RF detection and reporting, and ultrasonic and infrasonic wave detection and reporting." This subject matter does not immediately suggest a product that would qualify for a PTE under 35 U.S.C. § 156. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that US11900016 has received or is eligible for a PTE. The provided text and Google Patents information do not indicate any PTE.

3. Continuation Applications:
The patent explicitly states its lineage as a continuation application.

• "This application is a Continuation Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/421,141 filed May 23, 2019 which is a Continuation In Part of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 16/155,919, filed Oct. 10, 2018, which is a Continuation of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304, filed Sep. 23, 2015, which claims priority from U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62/054,286, filed on Sep. 23, 2014, the contents of which are hereby fully incorporated by reference."

Therefore, the following are identified as continuation applications in the direct lineage:

• U.S. application Ser. No. 16/421,141 (filed May 23, 2019)
• U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 16/155,919 (filed Oct. 10, 2018)
• U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304 (filed Sep. 23, 2015)

4. Divisional Applications:
The provided text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications of US11900016. Divisional applications typically arise from a restriction requirement by the examiner, where an application claims multiple distinct inventions.

5. Related Family Members:
Based on the priority chain provided, the related family members include:

• Provisional Application: U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62/054,286 (filed Sep. 23, 2014)
• Non-Provisional Applications in the chain:
  • U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304 (filed Sep. 23, 2015) - This application led to US10127005B2.
  • U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 16/155,919 (filed Oct. 10, 2018)
  • U.S. application Ser. No. 16/421,141 (filed May 23, 2019)
  • The current application: US17/555,813 (filed Dec. 20, 2021), which resulted in US11900016B2.
• Issued Patents/Publications from the family:
  • US10127005B2 (Issued from US14/862,304)
  • US20220261213A1 (Publication of US17/555,813, or a related application in the same family, published 2022-08-18).

6. Projected Expiration Date:
The Google Patents page for US11900016B2 explicitly states the "Adjusted expiration" date as 2035-11-14. This date already incorporates any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) applied to the patent. The standard patent term is 20 years from the earliest non-provisional filing date in the chain, subject to PTA. The earliest non-provisional filing date mentioned is September 23, 2015 (for U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 14/862,304). Twenty years from this date would be September 23, 2035. The adjusted expiration date of November 14, 2035, indicates approximately 52 days of PTA.
