thought
The user is asking for specific details about US patent 12028793, including patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date. I will use the provided patent information and the search results to gather this information.
First, I need to confirm the existence and details of US patent 12028793. The initial prompt already provided the patent number as US12028793B2 and a link to Google Patents for it. I will rely on this as the primary source of information, supplementing with searches for specific details like PTA/PTE and definitive expiration.
From the "Full patent text" provided, I can extract:
- Publication number: US12028793B2
- Filing date: 2023-12-13
- Publication date (Issue Date): 2024-07-02
- Priority date: 2008-11-04
- Anticipated expiration: 2028-11-04 (This is a crucial piece of information for the projected expiration date).
- Continuation Applications: The description mentions: "The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 18/450,517, filed Aug. 16, 2023, which is itself a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 17/653,748, filed Mar. 7, 2022, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,770,756, which is itself a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/929,609, filed May 12, 2020, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,304,118, which is itself a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/012,513, filed Jun. 19, 2018, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,660,015, which is itself a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/800,885, filed Nov. 1, 2017, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,219,199, which is itself a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/251,882, filed Aug. 30, 2016, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,832,708, which is itself a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/264,711, filed Nov. 4, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,462,411." This provides a complete chain of continuation and divisional applications.
- Related Family Members: The "Family Applications" and "Family Applications Before" and "Family Applications After" sections list numerous related applications.
Now, I will specifically look for PTA/PTE information using the search results, as this is usually calculated by the USPTO and might not be explicitly stated as a final number in the patent document itself beyond the "anticipated expiration".
Let's break down the information needed:
- Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): This is typically added to the patent term due to delays during prosecution by the USPTO.
- Patent Term Extensions (PTE): This is typically granted for delays related to regulatory review (e.g., FDA approval). Given the nature of this patent (software/method for financial transactions), PTE is less likely, but I should still check.
- Continuation Applications: The chain is already detailed in the patent text. I will re-list them clearly.
- Divisional Applications: The chain already details one divisional application. I will re-list it clearly.
- Related Family Members: I will summarize the family members from the provided text.
- Projected Expiration Date: The patent text provides an "Anticipated expiration" date, which I will use. I will cross-reference this with any PTA/PTE findings.
Let's refine the search based on the specific information needed:
- Search for "US12028793B2 patent term adjustments"
- Search for "US12028793B2 patent term extensions"
- If the above searches do not provide a clear PTA/PTE, I will assume the anticipated expiration date from the Google Patents page already factors in any such adjustments, unless contradictory information is found.
- The continuation/divisional and family members are largely covered in the provided text.
From the provided patent text, the "Anticipated expiration" date is 2028-11-04. This date is 20 years from the earliest priority date (2008-11-04). This suggests that if any PTA or PTE were granted, they either are not accounted for in this "anticipated expiration" field, or there were none, or they were offset. I will check search results for explicit PTA/PTE values.
The Google Patents page itself lists "Anticipated expiration 2028-11-04". This typically implies that no significant PTA or PTE was granted, or that this is the baseline 20-year term from the priority date of the earliest parent application (US12/264,711, filed Nov. 4, 2008). It is important to note that the filing date of US12028793B2 itself is 2023-12-13, but as a continuation, its term is derived from the earliest non-provisional application in the chain.
Let's check the search results to see if they offer more explicit details on PTA/PTE for US12028793.
The initial Google search results for "USPTO patent 12028793" and "US12028793B2 patent term adjustments" did not provide a direct breakdown of PTA or PTE. However, the Google Patents page explicitly states "Anticipated expiration 2028-11-04". This date is exactly 20 years from the priority date of the original application, US12/264,711, filed on November 4, 2008, which this patent is a continuation of.
The term of a U.S. patent is generally 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application upon which the patent is granted (excluding provisional applications), subject to extensions and adjustments. Since US12028793B2 is a continuation of a long chain of applications tracing back to US12/264,711 (filed 2008-11-04), its term is calculated from that 2008-11-04 date. A 20-year term from 2008-11-04 would be 2028-11-04.
If there were significant PTAs, the expiration date would typically be later than this "anticipated expiration" date listed on Google Patents. The absence of specific PTA/PTE data in the quick look-up suggests that, for the purpose of this analysis, the listed expiration date is the most reliable figure available without deeper dives into PAIR records, which are beyond the scope of a standard search tool for this request.
Therefore, I will rely on the "Anticipated expiration 2028-11-04" provided in the patent data.
Regarding continuation/divisional applications and family members, the patent text provides a comprehensive list. I will extract and organize these.
Continuation/Divisional Chain from patent text:

This is a clear statement of the parentage.
Related Family Members:
The "Family Applications" section on the Google Patents page lists additional members. I will compile these for completeness.
I'll synthesize the information carefully to avoid repetition and present it clearly.US Patent 12028793, titled "Systems/methods of establishing a capability, and then using the capability, to perform a financial transaction by a smartphone," has the following patent term and family details:
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Extensions (PTE)
The Google Patents entry for US12028793B2 lists an "Anticipated expiration" date of 2028-11-04. This date is exactly 20 years from the priority date of the original application (U.S. application Ser. No. 12/264,711, filed November 4, 2008) in the patent's lineage. No specific Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are explicitly detailed in the provided patent information or readily available through general searches, suggesting that the listed expiration date incorporates any such calculations or indicates that no significant adjustments or extensions were granted beyond the standard 20-year term from the earliest priority date. Given the nature of the invention (software/method for financial transactions), Patent Term Extensions (PTE) due to regulatory review (e.g., FDA approval) are unlikely.
