Extensions

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate patent applicants for certain delays incurred by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. This adjustment adds time to the standard 20-year patent term from the earliest nonprovisional filing date. The USPTO automatically calculates PTA and provides this information to the applicant.

As of the current date, April 26, 2026, the specific amount of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) for US patent 12143425 is not available in the provided information. This information is typically found in the issue notification letter sent by the USPTO after the issue fee is paid and before the patent issues, or on the patent document itself.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

Patent Term Extension (PTE) is a different mechanism from PTA, primarily designed for patents covering certain products (e.g., human drugs, medical devices, food additives) that require premarket regulatory approval from agencies like the FDA. The extension compensates for time lost during this regulatory review process.

There is no indication in the provided patent text or search results that US patent 12143425 is for a product that requires regulatory approval from agencies like the FDA. Therefore, it is highly unlikely to be eligible for Patent Term Extension (PTE).

Continuation and Divisional Applications

The patent text indicates a complex priority chain with numerous continuation-in-part (CIP) applications. A continuation application is a second application for the same invention claimed in a prior nonprovisional application and is filed before the patenting or abandonment of or termination of proceedings on the first application. A divisional application typically arises when a patent examiner requires restriction of an application to one of two or more independent and distinct inventions claimed in one application. The divisional application is then entitled to the benefit of the filing date of the original application. A CIP application includes new matter not present in the original application.

US patent 12143425 lists the following related applications in its cross-reference section, many of which are designated as "continuation-in-part" of others, indicating a complex family tree:

Related Family Members

The extensive list of continuation-in-part applications detailed above represents numerous related family members. All of these applications share a common priority chain back to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/925,974, filed October 28, 2015. Each of the applications that have issued as patents (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 11,570,214, U.S. Pat. No. 11,546,380, U.S. Pat. No. 11,323,484, etc.) are also considered family members.

Additionally, the Google Patents information shows another published version:

• US20240396943A1 (publication date 2024-11-28)

Projected Expiration Date

The standard patent term for utility patents in the United States is 20 years from the earliest claimed non-provisional filing date. The earliest priority date for US patent 12143425 is October 28, 2015, from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/925,974.

Therefore, without any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) or Patent Term Extension (PTE), the anticipated expiration date would be October 28, 2035.

The Google Patents entry also lists "2035-10-28 Anticipated expiration".

Any PTA would be added to this date. However, as noted, the specific PTA for US12143425 is not available in the provided information.
