|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20y-from-earliest-nonprovisional | Clock starts Mar 23, 2012 | Mar 23, 2032 | High |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High |
| Patent term adjustment | None on file | no change | High |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 8,316,260) | resolves to Mar 23, 2032, no earlier than this term, so no change | Medium |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High |
| Fee events | 3 of 3 maintenance fees paid | in-force | High |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Mar 23, 2032 | Medium |
