Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To provide a comprehensive analysis of US patent 11929896 regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date, direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center or Public PAIR system would be ideal. However, based on the available information:
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA)
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate patent applicants for certain administrative delays incurred by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. This adds time to the patent's 20-year term from its earliest filing date. Common causes for PTA include:
- Failure of the USPTO to issue an office action within 14 months of the application filing.
- Failure of the USPTO to respond to an applicant's reply or an appeal within four months.
- Failure of the USPTO to act on an application within four months after a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or federal court decision.
- Failure of the USPTO to issue a patent within four months after the issue fee is paid.
- Failure of the USPTO to issue a patent within 36 months from the filing date of an application.
The provided patent text for US11929896 does not explicitly state the amount of PTA awarded. To determine the exact PTA, one would typically need to access the "Patent Term Adjustments" section within the USPTO's Patent Center or Public PAIR for patent number 11929896.
Patent Term Extension (PTE)
Patent Term Extension (PTE) is awarded to compensate for delays incurred in obtaining regulatory approval on a patented product or methods of manufacturing or using the product, typically for pharmaceutical products. The provided patent text does not indicate that US11929896 has been granted any Patent Term Extension. This type of extension is specific to patents claiming products subject to regulatory review, which is not suggested by the "System and method for generation of unified graph models for network entities" title.
Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members
The Google Patents entry for US11929896 lists the following priority claims and related applications:
- Application number: US17/161,190 (This is the application number that led to US11929896).
- Priority to US17/161,190: 2021-01-28.
- Priority to US18/409,371: 2024-01-10.
- Priority to US19/275,450: 2025-07-21.
This indicates that US11929896 claims priority back to application US17/161,190. The entries "Priority to US18/409,371" and "Priority to US19/275,450" suggest a patent family where US11929896 is either a parent or related to these later-filed applications, which could be continuations, divisionals, or continuations-in-part. To determine the precise relationship (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part) and to identify other related family members in detail, one would typically examine the "Continuity Data" section in USPTO's Patent Center or Public PAIR for US11929896.
Projected Expiration Date
The term of a U.S. patent (other than a design patent) generally begins on the date the patent issues and ends 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed, or 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application to which a benefit is claimed under 35 U.S.C. §§ 120, 121, 365(c), or 386(c). This term can be adjusted by PTA or extended by PTE.
For US11929896:
- Filing date: 2021-01-28.
- Publication date: 2024-03-12.
Without information on any granted Patent Term Adjustment (PTA), the statutory expiration date would be 20 years from its earliest priority date. The earliest priority date listed for US11929896 is 2021-01-28 (from application US17/161,190).
Therefore, the anticipated expiration date, without considering any PTA or PTE, is January 28, 2041.
The Google Patents entry confirms this, stating "Anticipated expiration: 2041-01-28". This date already accounts for the 20-year term from the earliest priority date. Any PTA would be added to this date. As the exact PTA is not available in the provided text, the most precise expiration date currently known is January 28, 2041.
