Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Extensions (PTE)

A review of the provided patent text for U.S. Patent 12,417,756 does not indicate that any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) or Patent Term Extension (PTE) has been granted. The prosecution from the filing date (January 17, 2025) to the issue date (September 16, 2025) was approximately eight months, which is well within the three-year period for which the USPTO may grant PTA for its own delays.

Projected Expiration Date

The term of a U.S. patent is typically 20 years from the earliest effective non-provisional filing date. For U.S. Patent 12,417,756, the key dates are:

• Priority Date: August 1, 2024 (from U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/678,180)
• Filing Date: January 17, 2025

The patent term is calculated from the filing date of the non-provisional application, not the provisional application's priority date. Therefore, the projected expiration date is 20 years from the filing date.

• Projected Expiration Date: January 17, 2045

This expiration date is contingent upon the timely payment of all required maintenance fees and assumes the patent is not invalidated or has its term changed for any other reason, such as through the pending Post-Grant Review (PGR2026-00033).
