The user is asking for specific patent details for US9146925, including:

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

I will search the USPTO database for this information. I need to be careful to only search for "9146925" and not similar numbers. I've already set the search queries in the tool_code to be very specific.

After executing the search, I will synthesize the information from the search results to answer each point requested by the user. If any information is not found, I will explicitly state that.Here's a detailed breakdown of the requested information for US Patent 9146925, based on the provided patent text and general USPTO guidelines:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA)

The provided patent text for US9146925 does not explicitly state the amount of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted. PTA is typically calculated by the USPTO to compensate for administrative delays during patent prosecution and is indicated on the face of the patent or in the issue notification letter. While the patent shows a filing date of 2010-07-27 and a publication date of 2015-09-29, the specific PTA calculation is not detailed in the publicly available Google Patents record.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE)

There is no indication in the provided patent text that US9146925 has received any Patent Term Extensions (PTE). PTEs are typically granted to compensate for delays incurred in obtaining regulatory approval for patented products, primarily for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food additives. Given the nature of this patent, which relates to an internet jukebox system, it is unlikely to qualify for a PTE.

Continuation Applications

US9146925 (Application number US12/804,665) claims priority from US11/744,228, which was published as US20080275942A1, titled "User Defined Internet Jukebox Kiosks Set Top Box". This indicates that US9146925 is a continuation-in-part or continuation of US11/744,228. The patent text explicitly lists US11/744,228 as a "Related Parent Application" and US9146925B2 as "Applications Claiming Priority" from US11/744,228.

Divisional Applications

The provided patent text does not explicitly list any divisional applications directly originating from US9146925. Divisional applications are filed when a patent application contains claims to more than one independent and distinct invention, and the USPTO requires restriction.

Related Family Members

The patent text identifies the following related family members:

• US11/744,228: This is the priority application from which US9146925 claims priority. It was published as US20080275942A1, also titled "User Defined Internet Jukebox Kiosks Set Top Box".
• US20110029417A1: This is listed as another version of the patent, suggesting it is a related publication (e.g., a published application corresponding to the granted patent US9146925B2).

Projected Expiration Date

The "Legal status" section of US9146925 on Google Patents explicitly states the "Anticipated expiration" date as 2030-07-27.

This date is typically calculated as 20 years from the earliest priority filing date, plus any granted Patent Term Adjustments (PTA), minus any disclaimed patent term (e.g., due to a terminal disclaimer). The filing date of the application leading to US9146925 was July 27, 2010. However, it claims priority from an earlier application (US11/744,228) with a priority date of May 4, 2007. The 20-year term from the earliest priority date (2007-05-04) would normally expire around 2027-05-04. The anticipated expiration date of 2030-07-27 suggests that a Patent Term Adjustment of approximately 3 years and 2 months was granted for USPTO delays during prosecution.
