This patent's term runs 37 days past its 20-year base term on prosecution delay. A terminal disclaimer is resolved from the filed document, and it ends no earlier than this term, so it shortens nothing. 2 of 3 maintenance fees are paid so far. Confidence: Low. from the record
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.
| Step | Input | Date after this step | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Mar 30, 2015, when application 14/673,828, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Feb 16, 2017); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Mar 30, 2035 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | A parent in the chain could not be resolved | dated from this application's own claim | Medium confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +37 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | May 6, 2035 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 9,606,942) | resolves to May 6, 2035, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 2 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
| Further caveats on record | The record names parents not resolved: 14673828 | Low confidence overall | Low confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | May 6, 2035 | Low confidence |
