• Projected Expiration Date: The adjusted expiration date for US8898395 is July 17, 2026.

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) / Patent Term Extensions (PTE):

  • PTA: While the patent's status indicates an "adjusted expiration" date, implying that Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) was applied to compensate for administrative delays by the USPTO during prosecution, the specific number of days added for PTA for US8898395 is not explicitly stated in the provided text or search results. PTA is typically calculated at the time of patent issuance and included in the Issue Notification Letter.
  • PTE: There is no indication that US8898395 has received any Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTE is typically granted under the Hatch-Waxman Act for patents claiming products that require regulatory approval, such as pharmaceuticals or medical devices. The subject matter of US8898395, "Memory management for cache consistency," does not fall within these categories.

• Continuation Applications:

  • US8898395 (Application No. US12/121,531) is identified as a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/102,127, filed April 7, 2005 [Source: Patent Description, "RELATED UNITED STATES PATENT APPLICATION"]. This parent application subsequently issued as US7376798B1.

• Divisional Applications:

  • The provided patent text and associated information do not explicitly mention any divisional applications directly stemming from US8898395. A divisional application typically arises from a restriction requirement by the USPTO, allowing claims to independent and distinct inventions disclosed in an earlier application to be pursued separately.
