Extensions

For US patent 12169756, the following details regarding its term, applications, and family members can be identified from the provided patent text:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
The patent's "Anticipated expiration" date is listed as October 29, 2034. The earliest non-provisional filing date from which US12169756 claims priority is October 29, 2014 (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/526,799). A standard patent term is 20 years from this earliest non-provisional filing date. Calculating 20 years from October 29, 2014, results in an expiration date of October 29, 2034. Since the anticipated expiration date aligns precisely with the standard 20-year term from its earliest non-provisional priority date, there appears to be no Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) applied to this patent, or any adjustments cancel out.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
There is no indication in the provided patent text that US12169756 has received or is eligible for Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTE is typically granted for patents covering products that undergo regulatory review, such as pharmaceuticals or medical devices. The subject matter of this patent (wireless networking) does not fall into these categories, making PTE unlikely.
