Extensions

For US Patent 9223487, the following details have been identified:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): The patent's filing date was September 6, 2012. A standard patent term is 20 years from the earliest filing date, which would typically result in an expiration date of September 6, 2032. However, the Google Patents page for US9223487 indicates an adjusted expiration date of March 22, 2034 [cite: US9223487B2]. This difference of approximately 1 year, 6 months, and 16 days constitutes the Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) granted due to delays during the patent's prosecution by the USPTO. PTA is calculated to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO in issuing a patent.

• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are available for patents claiming products that require regulatory approval prior to being sold, such as human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, food additives, color additives, and medical devices, under the Hatch-Waxman Act. US Patent 9223487 is titled "Electronic apparatus, method of controlling the same, and related computer program," and its claims relate to graphical user interface interaction on a touch panel. As such, it does not fall within the categories of products eligible for PTE, and no PTE appears to have been granted.

• Continuation Applications: The provided information and the Google Patents page do not indicate that US9223487 is a continuation or continuation-in-part of an earlier US application. The application number US13/604,942 led directly to the issuance of US9223487.
