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 Oct 20, 2011, when application 13/277,913, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Apr 11, 2022); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Oct 20, 2031 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | A parent in the chain could not be resolved | dated from this application's own claim | Medium confidence |

| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 10,667,857, US 11,324,546, US 9,549,754) | capped to Oct 20, 2031 | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 0 of 1 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
