Extensions

To provide a comprehensive analysis of US patent 9482632, I will search the USPTO database for information regarding its patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and projected expiration date.

A U.S. utility patent filed on or after June 8, 1995, generally expires 20 years from its earliest filing date. However, this term can be adjusted by Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) or Patent Term Extension (PTE). PTA compensates for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during prosecution, while PTE is available for patents on specific products (like drugs or medical devices) that require regulatory approval, to restore time lost during that approval process. The USPTO does not calculate expiration dates for patents but provides resources for estimation.

Based on the available information:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
PTA is granted to extend the patent term due to delays caused by the USPTO during the prosecution of a utility or plant patent application. Delays can include the USPTO failing to:

• Issue a first Office Action within 14 months of filing.
• Respond to a reply or appeal within four months.
• Issue a patent within four months after payment of the issue fee.
• Issue a patent within 36 months from the filing date (excluding certain applicant-caused delays).

The patent application for US9482632 was filed on September 4, 2013, and the patent was granted on November 1, 2016. [cite: The full patent text confirms these dates] This period is approximately 3 years and 2 months (38 months). Since the patent issued beyond the 36-month target from its filing date, it is likely that some PTA was applied due to USPTO delays. Any applicant delays in responding to Office actions (e.g., taking longer than three months) would reduce any accrued PTA. To determine the exact PTA, one would need to consult the "Issue Notification Letter" for US9482632, which contains the specific calculation.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
PTE is typically associated with patents covering products (such as human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products) that require premarket government approval from a regulatory agency like the FDA. The purpose of PTE is to restore a portion of the patent term lost during this regulatory review.

Given that US9482632 relates to an "Abnormality detection device" for ICT equipment, it does not appear to fall into the categories of products eligible for PTE under 35 U.S.C. § 156. Therefore, it is highly improbable that US9482632 has received any Patent Term Extension.

Continuation Applications:
A continuation application must be filed while its parent application is still pending (i.e., not abandoned or granted). Once a patent is granted, a continuation application cannot be filed from that specific patent as a parent.
The Google Patents page for US9482632 lists "US14/018,152" as the application number and "US20140064321A1" as another version. This "US20140064321A1" is likely the publication of the original application that led to US9482632. There is no explicit indication in the provided information of any continuation applications being filed from the application that matured into US9482632. To definitively confirm, a detailed review of the patent's file wrapper in USPTO Patent Center would be necessary.

Divisional Applications:
Similar to continuation applications, a divisional application is typically filed when an original application contains multiple distinct inventions and the examiner issues a restriction requirement. The divisional application claims subject matter restricted out of the parent application and benefits from the original filing date. There is no information provided that indicates any divisional applications stemming from the application that resulted in US9482632.

Related Family Members:
The patent family for US9482632 includes:

• US14/018,152: The application number for US9482632. [cite: The "Publication number" field of US9482632]
• US20140064321A1: An earlier publication of the U.S. application. [cite: The "Other versions" field of US9482632]
• JP2012-194793: The priority application filed in Japan on September 5, 2012. [cite: The "Priority date" and "Incorporation by reference" sections of US9482632]
• JP6064457B2: The granted Japanese patent corresponding to JP2012194793A. [cite: The "Applications Claiming Priority" and "Country Status" fields of US9482632]

Projected Expiration Date:
The term of a U.S. utility patent is generally 20 years from its earliest effective filing date. For US9482632, the priority date is September 5, 2012, from Japanese patent application No. 2012-194793. The U.S. filing date is September 4, 2013. [cite: The full patent text confirms these dates] The patent claims the benefit of priority from the Japanese application. Therefore, the 20-year term is measured from the earliest filing date, which is September 5, 2012.

Based on a 20-year term from the priority date of September 5, 2012, the nominal expiration date would be September 5, 2032.

However, the patent states an "Adjusted expiration" date of October 28, 2034. [cite: The "Legal status" section of US9482632] This difference of approximately 2 years and 1 month (784 days) indicates that Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) has been applied to US9482632. This adjusted expiration date already accounts for any granted PTA.

Therefore:

• Patent Term Adjustments (PTA): Present and reflected in the adjusted expiration date of October 28, 2034. The specific amount of PTA is approximately 784 days.
• Patent Term Extensions (PTE): Not applicable, as the patent does not cover a product eligible for PTE.
• Continuation Applications: No explicit indication of continuation applications.
• Divisional Applications: No explicit indication of divisional applications.
• Related Family Members: US14/018,152 (application), US20140064321A1 (U.S. publication), JP2012-194793 (priority application), and JP6064457B2 (granted Japanese patent).
• Projected Expiration Date: October 28, 2034. [cite: The "Legal status" section of US9482632]
