Extensions

To accurately detail any patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 7676007, it's necessary to access the USPTO's Patent Center directly. The Google Patents record provides some, but not all, of this information.

Based on the available information from the Google Patents record and general USPTO guidelines:

US Patent 7676007 Details:

• Application Number: US11/188,233
• Filing Date: 2005-07-21
• Publication Date: 2010-03-09
• Adjusted Expiration Date: 2028-08-29

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) can extend the term of a U.S. patent to compensate for delays caused by the USPTO during the examination process. The Google Patents record indicates an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2028-08-29. This suggests that PTA has been applied to the patent. Without direct access to the USPTO Patent Center's "Patent Term Adjustment" section for application number US11/188,233, the specific breakdown of A, B, and C delays, applicant delays, or the total number of adjusted days cannot be determined. PTA is typically calculated by adding days for USPTO delays and subtracting days for applicant delays.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTEs) are mechanisms to extend a patent's duration beyond its original expiration date, primarily granted to compensate for time lost during regulatory approval processes for products like human drugs, medical devices, or food additives. There is no indication in the Google Patents record or the provided search results that US Patent 7676007 is related to a product requiring regulatory approval (such as a pharmaceutical or medical device). Therefore, it is highly unlikely to have received any PTE.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:
The Google Patents record lists the following priority application:

• US11/188,233 (which is the application number for US7676007B1 itself)
  And claims priority from:
• U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/589,713, filed on July 21, 2004.

A "continuation" application is filed before the parent application is patented, abandoned, or its proceedings are terminated, and it discloses the same invention without new subject matter. A "divisional" application arises when the USPTO determines that a single application contains two or more independent and distinct inventions. A "continuation-in-part" (CIP) incorporates all or part of the parent disclosure and adds new subject matter.

Based on the provided information, US Patent 7676007 (Application Number US11/188,233) claims priority to a provisional application. A provisional application establishes an early filing date but is not a "continuing application" in the sense of being a continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part of a prior non-provisional application. Therefore, as of the current analysis, there is no evidence of continuation or divisional applications for US7676007, nor other related non-provisional family members stemming from US11/188,233. The term "Family has litigation" on Google Patents refers to the overall patent family, which may include other patents, but without explicit listing in the "Applications Claiming Priority" or "Family Applications" sections, specific details of those other family members are not provided.

Projected Expiration Date:
The adjusted expiration date listed in the Google Patents record for US7676007B1 is 2028-08-29. This date already accounts for any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA). Assuming no further events (like a terminal disclaimer from a later-filed patent, which could shorten the term, or an unlikely PTE), this is the current projected expiration date. The standard patent term for applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, is 20 years from the earliest filing date (or earliest claimed priority date), plus any PTA. In this case, the earliest priority date is July 21, 2004 (from the provisional application), so 20 years from that would be July 21, 2024. The adjusted expiration date of August 29, 2028, indicates a PTA of approximately 4 years and 1 month.
