Extensions

To thoroughly detail the patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 8667304, a direct search of the USPTO's Patent Public Search database (PPUBS) or Patent Center is necessary. Public web search results provide general information about these concepts but cannot give specific details for a particular patent without direct database access.

Based on the information available and the nature of patent terms:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): PTA is granted to utility or plant patents to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during prosecution. These delays include failing to issue a first office action within 14 months, respond to an applicant's reply within 4 months, or issue the patent within 4 months of the issue fee payment, as well as if the application pendency exceeds 3 years. The specific PTA for US8667304 would be calculated by the USPTO and indicated on the patent's issue certificate or accessible through its public-facing file history in Patent Center. Without direct access to the patent's file wrapper, the exact PTA cannot be determined.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): PTEs are typically granted for patents claiming certain human drug products, medical devices, animal drugs, or food/color additives to compensate for time lost during pre-market regulatory review by government agencies like the FDA. Given the subject matter of US8667304 (conditional access servers for media content), it is highly unlikely to be eligible for a PTE under 35 U.S.C. § 156.
• Continuation Applications: The patent text explicitly states: "This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/007,116 filed on Dec. 7, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 8,291,236." This indicates that US8667304 (Application No. US13/612,663) is a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 8,291,236 (Application No. 11/007,116). Continuation applications allow applicants to pursue additional claims based on the disclosure of an earlier "parent" application, maintaining the earlier priority date.
• Divisional Applications: Divisional applications are filed when an original application contains claims to more than one invention, and the USPTO requires restriction. There is no explicit mention of US8667304 being a divisional application in the provided text, but its relationship as a continuation suggests it stems from a broader patent family.
• Related Family Members:
  • Parent Application: US 8,291,236 (Application Ser. No. 11/007,116, filed Dec. 7, 2004).
  • Published Application: US20130007451A1 (published 2013-01-03) is noted as another version of US8667304B2. This is likely the published application for US8667304.
  • Further family members (e.g., continuations-in-part, other continuations, or foreign counterparts) would require a comprehensive patent family search using a dedicated patent database like Patent Public Search.
• Projected Expiration Date: The patent text states the "Anticipated expiration" as 2024-12-07, and the "Legal status" as "Expired - Fee Related." This indicates that the patent has already expired as of December 7, 2024, or, more accurately, its term was shortened due to failure to pay maintenance fees, making it "Expired - Fee Related" prior to its full statutory term running out.

For a utility patent like US8667304, the default term is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application from which it claims priority. Since US8667304 is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11/007,116, which was filed on December 7, 2004, the 20-year term would typically run from December 7, 2004. This would make the unadjusted expiration date December 7, 2024. The notation "Expired - Fee Related" means that the patent's term ended prematurely due to a failure to pay required maintenance fees.

In summary:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): Specific PTA is not available from the provided text and requires direct access to the patent's USPTO file history.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): Unlikely to apply given the patent's subject matter.
• Continuation Applications: US8667304 is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/007,116, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,291,236.
• Divisional Applications: Not explicitly mentioned as a divisional.
• Related Family Members: Parent patent is US 8,291,236 (Application Ser. No. 11/007,116). Published application US20130007451A1 is also a family member.
• Projected Expiration Date: The patent is listed as "Expired - Fee Related" with an "Anticipated expiration" of December 7, 2024. This means its legal term concluded on or before this date due to unpaid maintenance fees.
