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.

Patent term extension	None on file	no change	High confidence
Fee events	No fee event states this; the fee state is read from the payments the fee record holds; the fee record shows no payment for this window, and USPTO's status still reads "Patented Case"	lapsed Oct 9, 2026	Low confidence
Computed term end	The steps above, in order	Oct 9, 2026	Low confidence
