The user is asking for specific details about US patent 9135456, including:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE)
• Continuation applications
• Divisional applications
• Related family members
• Projected expiration date

I will use the Google Patents page as the primary source for this information, supplemented by additional searches if necessary. I need to ensure I interpret all alphanumeric IDs literally and prioritize search results if they contradict my training data.

Looking at the Google Patents page for US9135456:

• "Prior art date: 2004-10-25"
• "Filing date: 2014-08-29"
• "Publication date: 2015-09-15"
• "Application granted: 2015-09-15" (This is the issue date)
• "Anticipated expiration: 2025-10-25" (This is already provided)
• "Other versions: US20140372770A1" (This is likely a related family member, specifically a publication of the application)
• "Priority to US14/473,813" (This is the application number for 9135456)
• "Priority to US14/710,528" (This is a related application number, potentially a continuation or divisional)
• "Priority to US14/828,377" (This is another related application number, potentially a continuation or divisional)
• No explicit mention of PTA or PTE on the main Google Patents page, so I need to search for that specifically.

Let's break down the information needed and how to find it.

1. Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE): This information is usually detailed on the USPTO Public Pair or Patent Center. Google Patents might show an adjusted expiration date but not the detailed calculation. My previous prompt mentions an "Anticipated expiration: 2025-10-25". The standard term is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application from which priority is claimed. The priority date is 2004-10-25. 20 years from this date is 2024-10-25. The listed expiration date is 2025-10-25. This suggests a one-year adjustment. I need to confirm this and find the official PTA/PTE information.

2. Continuation applications, Divisional applications, Related family members: The Google Patents page lists "Priority to US14/473,813", "Priority to US14/710,528", and "Priority to US14/828,377".

   • US14/473,813 is the application number for US9135456.
   • US20140372770A1 is "Other versions", likely the published application for US9135456.
   • I need to look up US14/710,528 and US14/828,377 to see their relationship (continuation, divisional, or continuation-in-part).
   • The "Priority date (The priority date is an assumption and is not a legal conclusion. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.) 2004-10-25" is also critical. This is the earliest priority date claimed.

3. Projected expiration date: The Google Patents page states "Anticipated expiration: 2025-10-25". I will use this date.

Let's refine the search for PTA/PTE and the type of applications for the "Priority to" listed applications.## Patent Term Details for US9135456

As of April 26, 2026, here is a detailed analysis of US patent 9135456 regarding its term adjustments, related applications, and projected expiration:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

US Patent 9135456 has an anticipated expiration date of 2025-10-25. The initial priority date for the patent is 2004-10-25. The standard patent term is 20 years from the earliest claimed priority date. Therefore, 20 years from October 25, 2004, would be October 25, 2024. The difference between this calculation and the anticipated expiration date (October 25, 2025) suggests a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) of approximately one year.

Further details regarding the specific calculation of this PTA or any Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are typically provided in the issue notification from the USPTO. Without direct access to the USPTO Patent Center or Public PAIR for this specific patent's file wrapper, the precise breakdown of the PTA calculation (e.g., A, B, and C delays) cannot be explicitly detailed here. However, the listed anticipated expiration date implicitly accounts for any such adjustments.
