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 Oct 16, 2001, when application PCT/SE2001/002253, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Aug 20, 2007); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Oct 16, 2021 | 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 | +1370 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Jul 17, 2025 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 7,592,592) | capped to Apr 8, 2023 | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 3 of 3 maintenance fees paid | term ended | High confidence |
| Further caveats on record | The record names parents not resolved: 10372662, 10179035 | Low confidence overall | Low confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Apr 8, 2023 | Low confidence |
