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 Sep 24, 2004, when this application, 10/950,069, was filed | Sep 24, 2024 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +1439 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Sep 2, 2028 | High 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 | Mar 30, 2026 | High confidence |
