US Patent 7777557 Details

• Patent Number: US7777557B2
• Title: Booster circuit
• Application Number: US12/015,882
• Filing Date: January 17, 2008
• Issue Date (Publication Date): August 17, 2010
• Priority Date: January 17, 2007 (claimed from JP2007007694). [cite: "Priority date (The priority date is an assumption and is not a legal conclusion. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.) 2007-01-17"]

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)

The Google Patents page for US7777557B2 lists an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2028-06-12. This date inherently accounts for any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) granted by the USPTO. While the precise number of days of PTA is not explicitly stated in the provided text, the adjusted expiration date indicates that the patent term was extended due to delays in the patent prosecution process by the USPTO, as per 35 U.S.C. § 154(b).

Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are typically granted under 35 U.S.C. § 156 for patents covering human drug products, medical devices, food additives, or color additives to compensate for time lost during regulatory review by agencies like the FDA. Given that US7777557 is for a "Booster circuit," a type of electronic circuit for semiconductor devices, it does not fall into the categories eligible for PTE. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that US7777557 has received any Patent Term Extension.

Continuation and Divisional Applications

• Divisional Applications: The patent text explicitly identifies US12/836,122 as a "Related Child Application" and a "Division" of US7777557B2.

Projected Expiration Date

The projected expiration date for US Patent 7777557B2, as indicated on the Google Patents page, is 2028-06-12. [cite: "Active , expires 2028-06-12"] This date incorporates any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) that was applied to the patent. The base patent term for applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, is 20 years from the earliest effective filing date (which is typically the non-provisional filing date or the earliest priority date claimed by a non-provisional application, excluding provisional applications). In this case, 20 years from the filing date of January 17, 2008, would be January 17, 2028. The adjusted expiration date of June 12, 2028, suggests a PTA of approximately 4 months and 26 days.
