To provide the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding US Patent 9914365, a direct query of the USPTO's Patent Center or Public Search database would be necessary, as specific Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) and Patent Term Extension (PTE) calculations are provided within those official records. However, based on the provided patent text and general USPTO rules, the following details can be established:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Specific values for Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) or Patent Term Extensions (PTE) for US9914365 are not explicitly detailed in the provided patent text or the general search results.

  • PTA compensates for certain delays caused by the USPTO during the patent prosecution process. This is calculated based on specific statutory deadlines, such as the USPTO failing to issue an office action within 14 months of filing, or failing to issue a patent within three years of the filing date.
  • PTE extends the patent term to compensate for delays due to regulatory review processes before a product can be commercially marketed, typically for pharmaceutical patents. There is no indication from the patent's subject matter that it would be eligible for PTE.

To determine the exact PTA or PTE, if any, for US9914365, one would need to consult the "Patent Term Adjustments" section within the official USPTO file wrapper for application US15/265,404.

Continuation Applications:
US Patent 9914365 is part of a continuation chain:

  • It is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/219,201, filed March 19, 2014.
  • Application Ser. No. 14/219,201, in turn, is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/641,359, filed December 18, 2009. This earlier application matured into U.S. Pat. No. 8,698,451.

Divisional Applications:
The provided patent text does not explicitly mention any divisional applications stemming from US9914365 or its direct parent applications. Divisional applications typically arise when the USPTO issues a restriction requirement, indicating that a single application contains two or more independent and distinct inventions.

Related Family Members:
The following related family members are identifiable from the patent information:

  • US9914365B2: The patent itself.
  • US15/265,404: The application number for US9914365.
  • US20170001528A1: A patent application publication for the same application as US9914365.
  • US14/219,201: A direct parent application (continuation of US12/641,359).
  • US12/641,359: The earliest parent application in the chain, claiming priority to December 18, 2009.
  • US8,698,451B2: The patent issued from application Ser. No. 12/641,359.

Projected Expiration Date:
The anticipated expiration date for US9914365 is December 18, 2029. This date is derived from the earliest priority date of December 18, 2009 (of application Ser. No. 12/641,359) plus 20 years, which is the standard patent term for utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995. This calculation does not account for any potential Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) that may have been granted due to USPTO delays, or Patent Term Extensions (PTE).
