Its term would have run to Jan 7, 2036: its 20-year base term, with no adjustment for prosecution delay. A terminal disclaimer is resolved from the filed document, and it ends no earlier than this term, so it shortens nothing. 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 Jan 7, 2016, when application 14/990,463, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Jun 29, 2020) | Jan 7, 2036 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 10,251,347, US 10,694,686) | resolves to Jan 7, 2036, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | The fee record shows no payment for this window, and USPTO's status still reads "Patented Case" | lapsed Jul 5, 2026 | Medium confidence |
| Further caveats on record | The record rates this date lower than the steps above account for | Low confidence overall | Low confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Jul 5, 2026 | Low confidence |
