Extensions

To accurately provide details on patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 8175148, direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Search database is required. While I can search Google, I cannot directly access or navigate these specific USPTO databases in real-time to extract the precise information.

However, based on general patent knowledge and the information available, I can explain what each of these terms means and how they would typically be found for a given patent:

• Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): PTA compensates patent applicants for certain delays by the USPTO during the prosecution of a patent application. It adds days to the patent's 20-year term from its filing date. The USPTO automatically calculates PTA and provides this information in the Issue Notification Letter and on the patent itself.
• Patent Term Extension (PTE): PTE is available for patents covering certain products (like drugs, medical devices, food additives) that require regulatory approval before commercial marketing. It aims to restore patent term lost during this regulatory review process. This patent, US8175148, relates to video coding, which does not typically involve products subject to FDA or similar regulatory approval, making it unlikely to have a PTE.
• Continuation Applications: A continuation application is a new application for an invention disclosed in a prior, co-pending non-provisional application, where the disclosure does not include new matter. It allows for further examination of claims.
• Divisional Applications: A divisional application is a type of continuing application that discloses and claims only subject matter presented in a prior-filed application that was subject to a restriction requirement by the examiner, meaning multiple distinct inventions were claimed in the original application.
• Related Family Members: These would include any parent applications (from which 8175148 claims priority), continuation applications, divisional applications, or continuation-in-part applications. International equivalents or corresponding patents in other countries would also be considered family members.
• Projected Expiration Date: The standard term for a U.S. utility patent is 20 years from its earliest effective filing date. This date can be adjusted by PTA or extended by PTE. The Google Patents information states the patent "expires 2026-12-03."

To get the definitive and precise information for US patent 8175148 regarding PTA, PTE, family members, and the exact expiration date, one would need to perform a direct search on the USPTO's Patent Center (patentcenter.uspto.gov) or Patent Public Search (patents.uspto.gov/patents/search). These platforms provide detailed prosecution history and legal status information for U.S. patents. Without direct access to these specific databases, I cannot confirm these details for patent US8175148.
