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 Apr 29, 2010, when application 12/770,253, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Feb 8, 2022); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Apr 29, 2030 | 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 | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 11,284,331, US 8,635,499) | resolves to Apr 29, 2030, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 0 of 1 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
| Further caveats on record | The record names parents not resolved: 14159739, 12770253 | Low confidence overall | Low confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Apr 29, 2030 | Low confidence |
