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 Jun 13, 2018, when this application, 16/007,895, was filed | Jun 13, 2038 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +275 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Mar 15, 2039 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 10,942,953) | resolves to Mar 15, 2039, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 1 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Mar 15, 2039 | High confidence |
