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.

| Patent term adjustment | +319 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Aug 20, 2028 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 8,035,027) | resolves to Aug 20, 2028, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
