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 5, 2020, when application 16/946,082, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Feb 13, 2023); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Jun 5, 2040 | 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 10,815,764, US 10,907,459, US 11,608,725, US 11,613,980, US 11,619,122, US 12,049,808) | resolves to Jun 5, 2040, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 0 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
