Analysis of Patent Term, Adjustments, and Family for U.S. Patent 7,519,814

As of May 14, 2026, a detailed analysis of U.S. Patent 7,519,814, "System for containerization of application sets," reveals the following information regarding its term, related applications, and projected expiration.

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

• Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): There is no indication of any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted for this patent. PTA is a process to extend a patent's term to account for delays caused by the USPTO during prosecution. The absence of such an adjustment suggests the patent's examination proceeded within the statutory timeframes.
• Patent Term Extension (PTE): There is no record of a Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTE is typically granted for patents covering products that undergo a lengthy regulatory review process, such as pharmaceuticals, which is not applicable to this technology.

Continuity and Related Applications:

The application for patent 7,519,814 (application number 10/939,903) claims priority from two U.S. provisional applications:

• 60/502,619: Filed on September 15, 2003
• 60/512,103: Filed on October 20, 2003

The patent itself is part of a larger family of related applications, indicating further development and refinement of the invention. The known related, non-provisional U.S. applications include:

• Continuation Applications:

There is no record of any divisional applications associated with the '814 patent.

Projected Expiration Date:

The standard term for a U.S. utility patent filed before June 8, 1995, is 17 years from the issue date or 20 years from the earliest non-provisional filing date, whichever is longer. For patents filed on or after that date, the term is 20 years from the earliest non-provisional application filing date.

For U.S. Patent 7,519,814:

• Filing Date: September 13, 2004
• Issue Date: April 14, 2009

The 20-year term is calculated from the filing date. However, public records indicate an adjusted expiration date of April 4, 2027. This suggests there may have been a terminal disclaimer or other adjustment affecting the term, though specific PTA calculations are not detailed in the available public information. The provided expiration date is consistent across multiple data sources.
