Extensions

To determine the patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 12110780, I will use the authoritative patent text and information from USPTO databases when available.

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

The provided patent text does not explicitly state any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE) granted for US patent 12110780.

• Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): PTA can be granted to a patent to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process. Delays can include failure to issue a first office action or notice of allowance within 14 months, failure to respond to an applicant's reply within 4 months, or failure to issue a patent within 4 months of the issue fee payment. The total PTA is added to the 20-year lifespan of the patent.
• Patent Term Extension (PTE): PTE is available for patents covering certain products, such as human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products, to compensate for time lost during pre-market government regulatory review. The maximum length of PTE is typically five years, and it cannot extend the patent term over 14 years from the date of marketing approval. There is no indication in the patent text that US12110780 falls into these categories.

To obtain specific PTA/PTE data, one would typically consult the patent's file wrapper in USPTO's Patent Center.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members

The patent text provides details on its relationships with other applications:

• Parent Application: US patent 12110780 is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/482,045, filed Sep. 22, 2021, which resulted in U.S. Patent No. 11/781,421.
• Priority Claims: It claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/216,861, filed Jun. 30, 2021, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/081,692, filed Sep. 22, 2020.
• Related Child Application: US12110780 also has a related child application, US18/826,924, which is a continuation application, filed on 2024-09-06 and published as US12584402B2.
• Family Members: The patent family (ID=80740088) includes:
  • US17/482,045 (US11781421B2) - Active, filed 2021-09-22, priority date 2020-09-22.
  • US18/457,139 (US12110780B2) - Active, filed 2023-08-28, priority date 2020-09-22.
  • US18/826,924 (US12584402B2) - Active, filed 2024-09-06, priority date 2020-09-22.
• Divisional Applications: The provided text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications for US12110780. Divisional applications arise when an applicant pursues separate inventions disclosed in an earlier application.

Projected Expiration Date

The term of a U.S. utility patent generally extends 20 years from its earliest effective filing date, with adjustments for PTA or PTE.

• Earliest Priority Date: The earliest priority date for US12110780 is September 22, 2020 (from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/081,692).
• Statutory 20-Year Term: Based on this priority date, the base 20-year term would expire on September 22, 2040.
• Anticipated Expiration: The Google Patents entry for US12110780 explicitly states "Anticipated expiration: 2041-09-22". This suggests a patent term adjustment of approximately one year.

Therefore, the projected expiration date for US patent 12110780 is September 22, 2041. This date likely includes any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted to compensate for delays during prosecution.
