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 11, 2019, when application 16/246,044, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Jun 10, 2024); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Jan 11, 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 | +61 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Mar 13, 2039 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 10,501,599, US 11,180,629, US 11,370,895, US 12,006,403) | capped to Jan 11, 2039 | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 0 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
