Extensions

To determine the patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 12107587, I will rely on the provided patent text and the general rules for patent term calculation.

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):
The patent text indicates that the "Legal status" is "Active, expires 2040-02-25". This "Adjusted expiration" date suggests that any applicable Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) has already been factored into this date. PTA is granted to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution. Without access to the USPTO Public PAIR system for the specific patent, the exact PTA calculation cannot be independently verified, but the provided expiration date implies its inclusion.

Patent Term Extension (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are typically granted for patents covering certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore patent term lost due to premarket government approval from regulatory agencies like the FDA. The current patent, US12107587, relates to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with an internal phase-locked loop, used in applications like high-frequency trading. This technology does not fall under the categories eligible for PTE. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that US12107587 has received or will receive a Patent Term Extension.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:
The provided patent text for US12107587B1 lists the application number as US17/723,130 and the filing date as 2022-04-18. It also lists a priority date of 2019-02-21. [cite: Google Patents]

• Priority Date: 2019-02-21 [cite: Google Patents]
• Application Number: US17/723,130 [cite: Google Patents]

To definitively identify continuation, divisional, or other related family members, one would typically look for a "Related U.S. Application Data" section on the patent front page or within the patent's file history. Since this information is not explicitly provided in the full patent text, and a direct search of the USPTO database for related applications is beyond my current capabilities, I cannot list specific continuation or divisional applications. However, the presence of a priority date earlier than the filing date (2019-02-21 vs. 2022-04-18) indicates that US17/723,130 (which led to US12107587B1) claims priority to an earlier application, making it a continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part of that earlier application.

Projected Expiration Date:
The patent text explicitly states the "Legal status (The legal status is an assumption and is not a legal conclusion...): Active, expires 2040-02-25". This "Adjusted expiration" date accounts for the standard 20-year patent term from the earliest effective filing date, plus any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA).

Based on the information provided:

• Priority Date: 2019-02-21 [cite: Google Patents]
• Filing Date: 2022-04-18 (for application US17/723,130) [cite: Google Patents]
• Grant Date: 2024-10-01 [cite: Google Patents]

Assuming the priority date of 2019-02-21 is the earliest effective filing date for the patent family, the baseline 20-year term would typically end on February 21, 2039. The stated expiration date of 2040-02-25 [cite: Google Patents] indicates that approximately one year and four days of Patent Term Adjustment has been added to the base term. This calculation aligns with the concept of PTA extending the patent term beyond 20 years from the earliest effective filing date due to USPTO delays.

In summary:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): The adjusted expiration date of 2040-02-25 suggests that PTA has been applied, extending the term beyond the standard 20 years from the priority date. The specific number of PTA days is not explicitly stated in the provided text but is reflected in the adjusted expiration.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): Not applicable for this type of invention.
• Continuation/Divisional Applications & Related Family Members: US12107587 (from application US17/723,130 filed 2022-04-18) claims priority to a date of 2019-02-21, indicating it is part of a continuing application chain. Without further information from the "Related U.S. Application Data" section or a direct USPTO database search, specific parent applications cannot be identified.
• Projected Expiration Date: February 25, 2040. [cite: Google Patents]
