Maintenance fees paid

Two maintenance fees can end this term early, the ones due 3.5 and 7.5 years from grant; the third one's grace period runs past the term end. This counts the ones the record shows paid.

How we calculated this date

One row per rule, each showing its own input and what it did to the date. A step we could not verify says so instead of resolving itself.

Continuity chain	Every parent in the chain resolved	no change	High confidence
Patent term adjustment	+170 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record	Jun 6, 2029	High confidence
Terminal disclaimer cap	Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 9,260,790)	resolves to Jun 6, 2029, no earlier than this term, so no change	High confidence
