Extensions

To provide accurate details regarding Patent Term Adjustments (PTA), Patent Term Extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, and the projected expiration date for US patent 8610573, direct access to the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system is typically required. These systems provide the most up-to-date and specific data for individual patents, including the official PTA calculations.

Based on the information available and general patent law:

• Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): PTA compensates for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution. It is calculated at the time of patent issuance and included in the Issue Notification Letter. Factors include delays in issuing an office action (A-delays), failing to issue a patent within three years of the filing date (B-delays), and delays due to interference or secrecy orders (C-delays). The USPTO's official patent record would show the specific PTA applied to US8610573. Without direct access to the official USPTO record for this specific patent's PTA calculation, I cannot provide the exact number of days.
• Patent Term Extension (PTE): PTE is distinct from PTA and is granted for delays due to regulatory review processes, most notably for pharmaceutical products. Given that US8610573 relates to a radio frequency module and methods, it is highly unlikely to have qualified for a PTE.
• Continuation and Divisional Applications:
  • US8610573B2 itself is listed as being based on application number US12/558,484, which was filed on September 11, 2009. The patent claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/096,163 filed on September 11, 2008.
  • To identify any subsequent continuation or divisional applications directly stemming from US8610573B2, a detailed family search within the USPTO database would be necessary. The Google Patents entry shows "Other versions" including US20100060454A1, which is the patent's own publication as an application, not a separate continuation or divisional application.
• Related Family Members: The primary family member listed is US20100060454A1, which is the published patent application corresponding to US8610573B2. The priority date is listed as September 11, 2008, from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/096,163.
• Projected Expiration Date: For utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term generally ends 20 years from the earliest effective filing date of the application, subject to any PTA or PTE.
  • The filing date for US8610573 (application US12/558,484) is September 11, 2009.
  • The priority date (from the provisional application) is September 11, 2008.
  • Therefore, the base 20-year term would typically be calculated from the earliest non-provisional filing date for which benefit is claimed. In this case, it appears the earliest filing date for calculation would be September 11, 2009.
  • However, the Google Patents information already explicitly states the patent "expires 2032-09-27" and is "Active - Reinstated". This adjusted expiration date already accounts for any PTA.

Summary for US Patent 8610573:

• Patent Term Adjustment (PTA): The Google Patents record indicates an adjusted expiration date of 2032-09-27. This implies that PTA has been applied, extending the term beyond the standard 20 years from the filing date of September 11, 2009 (which would be September 11, 2029). The precise calculation of this adjustment would be found in the official USPTO patent file.
• Patent Term Extension (PTE): There is no indication or likelihood of PTE for this type of patent.
• Continuation Applications: Based on the available information, there are no explicitly identified continuation applications of US8610573B2. The published application US20100060454A1 is the precursor to the granted patent, not a separate continuing application.
• Divisional Applications: No divisional applications of US8610573B2 are explicitly identified in the provided information.
• Related Family Members: The primary related family member is the published patent application US20100060454A1. The patent also claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/096,163, filed on September 11, 2008.
• Projected Expiration Date: The patent is projected to expire on September 27, 2032.
