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.

| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Jun 4, 2019, when application 16/431,167, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Mar 20, 2024); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Jun 4, 2039 | 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 11,734,555, US 12,001,946, US 12,073,315) | resolves to Jun 4, 2039, no earlier than this term, so no change | Medium confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 0 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
