For US patent 11950105, the following details are available:

Projected Expiration Date:
The anticipated expiration date for US Patent 11950105B1 is October 29, 2034. This date is typically calculated as 20 years from the earliest priority date, adjusted by any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE).

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE):

  • Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): PTA is granted to extend the term of a U.S. patent to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. These delays include the USPTO failing to:
    • Issue a first office action or notice of allowance within 14 months of filing.
    • Act on an applicant's response within four months.
    • Issue the patent within four months of payment of the issue fee.
    • Issue a patent within three years of the actual filing date of the application.
      The final PTA calculation is included in the Issue Notification Letter mailed to applicants prior to patent issuance. While the specific PTA calculation for US11950105 is not directly available without accessing the USPTO's detailed prosecution history, the "Anticipated expiration" date provided by Google Patents (October 29, 2034) implicitly accounts for any granted PTA.
  • Patent Term Extension (PTE): PTE is primarily available for patents covering products subject to regulatory review periods, such as those involving the FDA, to compensate for delays in obtaining regulatory approval. There is no information in the provided patent text or search results to indicate that US11950105 has been granted a PTE. The anticipated expiration date of October 29, 2034, is based on the 20-year term from the priority date (October 30, 2013) plus any PTA.

Continuation Applications:
US Patent 11950105B1 is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 18/448,281, filed August 11, 2023. This application itself claims the benefit of several earlier applications, ultimately tracing priority back to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. 61/897,219 and 61/897,216, both filed October 30, 2013.

This appears to be an error in the Google Patents data and is likely not part of the same inventive family as the other applications.
