A terminal disclaimer is resolved from the filed document, and it ends no earlier than this term, so it shortens nothing. All three maintenance fees are recorded paid; no more fees are due. Confidence: High. from the record
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 Feb 6, 2007, when this application, 11/671,698, was filed | Feb 6, 2027 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +11 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Feb 17, 2027 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 8,168,292) | resolves to Feb 17, 2027, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 3 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Feb 17, 2027 | High confidence |
