Extensions

For US Patent 12037004, the following details regarding its term and related applications can be provided:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
While the specific amount of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) for US12037004 is not explicitly stated in the provided text, PTA is generally granted to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. This can extend the 20-year lifespan of a patent. Common reasons for PTA include delays in issuing office actions, responding to replies or appeals, acting on Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decisions, issuing a patent after issue fee payment, and delays causing the application to issue more than 36 months from its filing date. Applicant delays, such as responding to office actions more than three months after notification, can reduce PTA.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are distinct and can be granted for delays related to secrecy orders, interferences, or appellate review, with a limit of five years. There are also specific PTEs related to delays through the FDA for pharmaceutical patents. The provided information does not indicate any PTE for US12037004.
