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 Sep 21, 2006, when application 11/525,275, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Aug 18, 2011) | Sep 21, 2026 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +32 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Oct 23, 2026 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 8,018,248) | resolves to Oct 23, 2026, 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 | term ended | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Oct 23, 2026 | High confidence |
