None

Term adjustment

No prosecution delay on this record.

No effect

Terminal disclaimer

Resolved from the filed document, referencing US 6,932,047, to Sep 3, 2024. The term already ends on or before that date, so the cap shortened nothing.

0 of 3

Maintenance fees paid

Three maintenance fees fall due, at 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years from grant. This counts the ones the record shows paid.

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 Sep 3, 2004, when the earliest non-provisional application in its chain was filed (this one was filed Mar 4, 2008); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row)	Sep 3, 2024	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 6,932,047)	resolves to Sep 3, 2024, 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	lapsed Nov 10, 2013	High confidence
Computed term end	The steps above, in order	Nov 10, 2013	Medium confidence
