How we calculated this date
| Step | Input | Date after this step | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Nov 30, 2012, when the earliest non-provisional application in its chain was filed (this one was filed Jan 16, 2013); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Nov 30, 2032 | 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 | No term adjustment record on a grant after 2005, so none is added | no change | Medium confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | None on record | no cap applied | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 2 of 3 maintenance fees paid | lapsed Oct 29, 2025 | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Oct 29, 2025 | From the USPTO record |
