Biopolymeric Membranes
US 7,807,192
The most cited patent in this portfolio, cited by 116 later US patents, top 10% of utility patents granted in 2010 in our data. Protection runs to 2029.
Implants for Bone and Cartilage Repair
US 10,945,846
Granted 2021. Computed term ends 2032.
Bone Implant Composite
US 7,544,212
Renewed at every maintenance window since the 2009 grant; no more fees are due before its term ends in 2026. A terminal disclaimer is on file and its reference is not resolved, so no cap is applied and the date may move earlier, never later.
Fee deadlines
Maintenance fees fall due 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years after grant. A missed fee ends a patent at the end of the six month grace period that follows, not on the due date.
- 1 fee due Dec 23, 2026The maintenance fee for Re-Rollable Wrapping Implant (US 9,061,464) comes due Dec 23, 2026. Unpaid by Jun 23, 2027, it lapses early.
- 1 fee due Jul 21, 2027The maintenance fee for Density Gradient Biopolymeric Matrix Implants (US 10,537,417) comes due Jul 21, 2027. Unpaid by Jan 21, 2028, it lapses early.

Sources and methods
Compiled from USPTO application file histories, grants and recorded assignments, with the company's own names reviewed by hand. How this record was built
Portfolio grouped automatically from ownership conveyances to the names matched to this company, usually every name that begins with its own, so it counts patents an affiliate holds; each list row names the holder of record. Security interests are excluded and ambiguous records are not reviewed by hand.
Fee due within 90 days marks a patent with a maintenance fee due within 90 days of the date this page was computed and not yet recorded paid, so it can end earlier than the bar shows. A fee left unpaid ends the patent at the close of the six month grace period that follows its due date, not on the due date itself. It is not a prediction that the fee will be missed.
Computed patent terms end on the dates shown. Related patents and pending applications may cover overlapping subject matter.
