How we calculated this date
| Step | Input | Date after this step | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Mar 21, 2003, when the earliest non-provisional application in its chain was filed (this one was filed Nov 9, 2005); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Mar 21, 2023 | 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 | +280 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Dec 26, 2023 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 7,711,493) | resolves to Dec 26, 2023, no earlier than this term, so no change | Medium confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 3 of 3 maintenance fees paid | term ended | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Dec 26, 2023 | Low confidence |

Maintenance fee events come from USPTO's own fee records. Its fee lookup asks for the patent number and the application number.
Not on this page: the patent's family, its recorded assignments and its citation count. USPTO's assignment records, linked above, list every recorded assignment.
Every date shows its work: the base term, any term adjustment or extension, any disclaimer cap, and the maintenance fee record, each with a confidence tier. How this record was built
