Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To determine the patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 8310990, the USPTO's official patent records would typically be consulted directly. However, based on the provided patent text and general patent law principles:
US Patent 8310990: System, method, and device for routing calls using a distributed mobile architecture
- Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): The patent text itself does not provide specific details on any patent term adjustments applied to US8310990. Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) extends the term of a patent to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during prosecution. For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term is generally 20 years from the filing date, with PTA adding days for specific USPTO delays.
- Patent Term Extensions (PTE): The patent text does not mention any patent term extensions for US8310990. Patent term extensions (PTE) are typically granted for delays related to regulatory review periods for products like pharmaceuticals.
- Continuation Applications: The patent states that "The present application claims priority from and is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 12/172,639 filed on Jul. 14, 2008 and entitled 'SYSTEM, METHOD, AND DEVICE FOR ROUTING CALLS USING A DISTRIBUTED MOBILE ARCHITECTURE,' the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety." This indicates that US8310990 (Application No. US12/942,642) is a continuation of US patent application Ser. No. 12/172,639, filed on July 14, 2008. A continuation application is filed during the pendency of an earlier non-provisional application, disclosing the same invention, but presenting new claims.
- Divisional Applications: The provided patent text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications for US8310990. A divisional application is a later application for an independent invention carved out of a prior, copending application.
- Related Family Members: The only explicitly mentioned related application within the provided text is the parent application, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/172,639. The publication US20110060853A1 is also listed as another version of the patent, which is likely the publication of the application that matured into US8310990. Additionally, the patent also mentions priority to US13/648,704, which resulted in patent US9332478B2.
- Projected Expiration Date: The patent's anticipated expiration date is July 14, 2028. This date is calculated as 20 years from the priority date of the earliest application from which benefit is claimed (July 14, 2008, from application Ser. No. 12/172,639). This calculation assumes no further patent term adjustments (PTA) or extensions (PTE) are applied that would alter this date, and that all maintenance fees have been or will be paid.
