Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) & Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
The provided information indicates that the patent's anticipated expiration date (July 24, 2026) aligns with the nominal 20-year term from the filing date of its parent application, U.S. patent application No. 11/491,260 (filed July 24, 2006). This suggests that there were likely no Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) that significantly extended the patent term, or any adjustments were offset by applicant delay, resulting in the term ending on the statutory 20-year mark from the earliest U.S. filing date. Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are typically granted for delays in regulatory review for certain products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, medical devices). There is no information in the patent text or search results to suggest that US7923764 is eligible for or has received a Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156.
