Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
The patent information provided in the prompt already contains most of the requested details, including the anticipated expiration date. I will consolidate this information and cite the original patent text directly, as it is stated to be authoritative. I will explicitly mention if any requested information (like specific PTA/PTE values) is not directly present in the provided text.
From the provided patent text, I have the following:
Projected expiration date: 2029-12-04 [cite: The full patent text, under "Legal status", states "2029-12-04 Anticipated expiration"].
Continuation applications:
- The patent itself (US9403550B2) is listed under "Applications Claiming Priority" and is a child of US14/261,558, which is listed as a "Continuation" of US12/631,375. So, US9403550B2 is effectively a continuation in a chain.
- US14/597,420 (the application number for US9403550B2) claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/261,558, which claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/361,375, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/119,920. [cite: The full patent text, under "RELATED APPLICATIONS", states "This U.S. patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/261,558 filed on Apr. 25, 2014 which claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/361,375 filed on Dec. 4, 2009 which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/119,920 filed on Dec. 4, 2008 which are all hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety."]

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) and Patent Term Extension (PTE):
- The provided patent text explicitly lists an "Anticipated expiration 2029-12-04" under "Legal status". This date already accounts for any PTA. The document does not explicitly state the number of days of PTA, but it is implicitly included in the anticipated expiration date.
- PTE is typically granted for patents on certain regulated products (e.g., human drugs, medical devices) to compensate for regulatory review periods. The nature of this patent (stroller attachment) does not suggest it would be eligible for PTE. The document does not mention any PTE.
Based on the USPTO information generally, a U.S. utility patent filed on or after June 8, 1995, generally expires 20 years from its earliest filing date, with potential adjustments for USPTO delays (PTA) or regulatory review (PTE). The earliest priority date for US9403550 is December 4, 2008. [cite: The full patent text, under "Priority date"] Twenty years from this date would be December 4, 2028. However, the "Anticipated expiration" is listed as December 4, 2029, which suggests a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) of approximately one year.For US Patent 9403550, the following details are available from the provided authoritative patent text and general patent law:
Projected Expiration Date:
The anticipated expiration date for US Patent 9403550 is December 4, 2029. [cite: The full patent text, under "Legal status", states "2029-12-04 Anticipated expiration"] This date reflects the 20-year term from the earliest priority date, adjusted for any Patent Term Adjustment (PTA).
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):
While the specific calculation of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) in days is not explicitly detailed in the provided patent text, the difference between the statutory 20-year term from the earliest priority date (December 4, 2008 + 20 years = December 4, 2028) and the stated anticipated expiration date (December 4, 2029) indicates approximately one year of PTA. PTA is granted to compensate for certain delays by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process.
Patent Term Extension (PTE):
There is no indication in the provided patent text that US Patent 9403550 has received or is eligible for Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTE typically applies to patents covering products, such as certain human drugs, food or color additives, and medical devices, that require premarket government approval from a regulatory agency. The nature of the invention (a stroller attachment) does not fall under these categories.
