Extensions

To provide a comprehensive analysis of US Patent 8,102,833 regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date, I would typically access the USPTO Patent Center (Patent Public Search) and review the prosecution history and bibliographic data for the patent. However, as an AI, I cannot directly perform live, interactive searches of private databases or interpret detailed legal documents directly from the USPTO system.

Based on the provided patent text and general knowledge about U.S. patent law:

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

• PTA: US patents issued from applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, are eligible for Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) to compensate for delays incurred during prosecution before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent text for US8102833 shows an event "FEPP - Fee payment procedure" on 2011-12-04 and 2013-12-05, and "MAFP - Maintenance fee payment" on 2019-07-15 and 2023-07-11. These indicate the patent is being maintained. While the document mentions general PTA (under 35 U.S.C. § 154(b)), it does not explicitly state the specific amount of PTA granted for US8102833. To find the exact PTA, a detailed review of the patent's prosecution history on the USPTO website would be necessary.
• PTE: Patent Term Extension (PTE) is awarded to compensate for delays incurred in obtaining regulatory approval on a patented product or methods of manufacturing or using the product (under 35 U.S.C. § 156). There is no information within the provided patent text to suggest that US8102833 has received any PTE.

2. Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:
The Google Patents interface for US8102833 lists the following related applications and family members:

• Priority Applications (5): These are applications that US8102833 claims priority from. All five list the same Priority Date of 2007-09-13.

  • US12/209,136 (this patent application itself)
  • US13/316,315 (which resulted in US9001814B2)
  • US14/631,315 (which resulted in US10374775B2)
  • US16/453,069 (which resulted in US11012222B2)
  • US17/230,593 (which resulted in US20210234661A1)
    These indicate a patent family where subsequent applications were filed claiming priority back to the earliest filing date of US12/209,136.

• Applications Claiming Priority (6): These are applications that US8102833's application claims priority to, or are related by priority. The priority date for all is 2007-09-13.

  • US97224407P (Provisional)
  • US98742707P (Provisional)
  • US98843307P (Provisional)
  • KR10-2008-0068634 (Korean Application)
  • KR1020080068634A (Korean Publication which resulted in KR101531416B1)
  • US12/209,136 (this patent application itself)

• Related Child Applications (1):

  • US13/316,315 (which resulted in US9001814B2), identified as a Continuation

• Family Applications (5): These include US8102833B2 and four other patents/applications. All claim the priority date of 2007-09-13.

  • US8102833B2 (this patent)
  • US9001814B2
  • US10374775B2
  • US11012222B2
  • US20210234661A1

This structure indicates that US8102833 is part of a larger patent family, with several continuation applications and foreign priority filings. The term of a patent granted on a continuing application filed after June 8, 1995, ends 20 years from the filing date of the earliest application for which a benefit is claimed.

3. Projected Expiration Date:
For US utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally expires 20 years from the earliest filing date of the patent application, or from the earliest non-provisional application in its priority chain if priority is claimed.

• Earliest Priority Date: September 13, 2007
• Statutory 20-year Term End Date: September 13, 2007 + 20 years = September 13, 2027.

However, the Google Patents information for US8102833 explicitly states: "Active, expires 2030-09-06". This adjusted expiration date suggests that Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) has been granted.

Therefore, the projected expiration date, including any adjustments, is September 6, 2030.
