Extensions

To provide the most accurate information on patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation/divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date for US Patent 9055868, I need to access the official USPTO Patent Center or Public Search tools. Unfortunately, I cannot directly interact with these live databases. The Google Patents link provided in the user prompt contains some, but not all, of the detailed information typically found in official USPTO records for calculating PTA/PTE or exhaustively listing all family members.

However, based on the information provided in the patent text itself and general knowledge of patent law:

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):

• The '868 patent was filed on September 3, 2014, and issued on June 16, 2015.
• PTA is granted to compensate for certain delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution, such as failing to issue an office action within 14 months of filing, respond to a reply within four months, or issue a patent within 36 months of filing.
• The USPTO calculates PTA at the time of patent issuance and includes it in the Issue Notification Letter.
• The provided patent text and Google Patents record do not explicitly state the specific number of days of PTA granted for US9055868. To get the precise PTA, one would typically need to consult the Issue Notification or the patent's file wrapper in USPTO Patent Center.

Patent Term Extension (PTE):

• PTE is available for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore patent term lost due to pre-market government approval delays from a regulatory agency (e.g., FDA).
• The '868 patent is titled "System and method for voice control of medical devices," which falls into the category of medical devices, making it potentially eligible for PTE if it required regulatory approval.
• The Google Patents record does not indicate any granted PTE for US9055868. To confirm eligibility and any granted extension, one would need to search USPTO records for PTE applications under 35 U.S.C. § 156.

Continuation Applications, Divisional Applications, and Related Family Members:
The "CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" section of US9055868B2 provides a detailed lineage of related applications, indicating a series of continuations and divisionals.

The '868 patent explicitly states it is a continuation of:

• U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/186,814 filed Feb. 21, 2014.
• which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/913,678 filed Jun. 10, 2013.
• which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/531,853 filed Jun. 25, 2012.
• which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/349,244 filed Jan. 12, 2012 (now U.S. Pat. No. 8,472,108 issued Jun. 25, 2013).
• which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/078,547 filed Apr. 1, 2011.
• which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/625,253 filed Nov. 24, 2009, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,098,423, issued Jan. 17, 2012.
• which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/206,432, filed Sep. 8, 2008, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,633,673, issued Dec. 15, 2009.
• which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/812,608, filed Mar. 30, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,433,116, issued Oct. 7, 2008.
• which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/757,341, filed Jan. 13, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,259,906, issued Aug. 21, 2007.
• which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/652,276 filed Aug. 29, 2003, abandoned. Application Ser. No. 10/652,276 claims the benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/408,025 filed Sep. 3, 2002.

This comprehensive list details the direct chain of parent applications, including multiple continuations and divisionals, leading back to the original provisional application.

Projected Expiration Date:

• For U.S. utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the patent term is generally 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application, or the earliest filed application in its priority chain, excluding provisional applications.
• The earliest priority date for US9055868B2 is September 3, 2002, based on U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/408,025. However, for calculating the 20-year term, the earliest non-provisional filing date in the chain is typically used.
• The earliest non-provisional application in the chain is U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/652,276, filed August 29, 2003.
• Therefore, the base patent term would expire 20 years from August 29, 2003. This means the base expiration date would be August 29, 2023.
• The Google Patents legal status explicitly states "Expired - Lifetime" with an "Anticipated expiration" date of August 29, 2023. This aligns with the 20-year term calculation from the earliest non-provisional filing date.
• Any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) would extend this date, but without the specific PTA calculation from the USPTO records, a precise adjusted expiration date cannot be provided. However, even if PTA was granted, the patent's current status on Google Patents as "Expired - Lifetime" suggests that the patent is no longer in force.
