Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
To provide detailed information regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US patent 8635697, I will directly access the authoritative patent text from Google Patents for patent number US8635697B2. The Google Patents page often aggregates this information from USPTO records.
Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
The Google Patents page for US8635697B2 indicates an "Adjusted expiration" date of 2031-11-03. [cite: The authoritative patent text for US8635697B2 lists "Adjusted expiration , expires 2031-11-03"] Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) is granted to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process. It extends the patent term beyond the standard 20 years from the earliest filing date. The USPTO calculates PTA based on specific delays, such as failing to issue a first office action within 14 months, failing to respond to an applicant's reply within four months, or failing to issue the patent within three years of the filing date.
Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are distinct from PTAs and are typically granted to patents claiming products (e.g., human drugs, medical devices) that require premarket regulatory approval, to compensate for time lost during the approval process. There is no information on the Google Patents page or in the provided search results to indicate that US8635697 has been granted a Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156. Such extensions are generally for specific types of products, which this patent, related to operating system identification and malware detection, does not appear to cover.
Continuation Applications:
The Google Patents page for US8635697B2 lists one "Priority Applications" entry: "US13/083,501" filed on 2011-03-29, which is the application for US8635697 itself. [cite: The authoritative patent text for US8635697B2 lists this priority application.]

The patent identifies US13/083,501 as its own application number ("Application number US13/083,501"). [cite: The authoritative patent text for US8635697B2] The application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/469,024, filed on Mar. 29, 2011. There are no explicit "continuation" or "continuation-in-part" applications listed directly on the Google Patents page under a dedicated section for such applications.
