To provide accurate information on US patent 12011329, I will search the USPTO website for the specific patent number.
Here's the detailed information for US patent 12011329:
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):
The Google Patents page for US12011329B2 indicates an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2033-12-09. [cite: The full patent text, Google Patents metadata] Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process. The USPTO automatically calculates the PTA and provides a notice of determination on or before the patent's issuance date. While the exact PTA calculation for US12011329 is not explicitly stated in the provided snippets, the noted expiration date would factor in any awarded PTA.
Patent Term Extension (PTE):
Patent Term Extension (PTE) is available for patents covering certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore time lost during premarket government approval from a regulatory agency. Since US12011329 is an "Intraoral device," which can be classified as a medical device, it might be eligible for PTE if it meets the specific criteria (e.g., being a Class III medical device subject to FDA review under section 515 of the FFDCA). However, no information about an application for or grant of PTE for this specific patent is present in the provided text.
Continuation Applications:
US patent 12011329B2 is a continuation application itself. [cite: The full patent text, Google Patents metadata] The patent text explicitly states: "The present application is a continuation and claims the priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/228,057 filed Mar. 27, 2014, which is a continuation and claims the priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/100,323 filed Dec. 9, 2013, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,911,232, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/734,939 filed Dec. 7, 2012". [cite: The full patent text, Description]
Divisional Applications:
The provided patent information does not explicitly state if US patent 12011329 has any divisional applications. Divisional applications arise when an examiner determines that a patent application claims more than one invention, requiring the applicant to restrict the application to one invention and file separate divisional applications for the others.
