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 Jul 28, 2006, when application 11/495,084, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Mar 5, 2014) | Jul 28, 2026 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | Every parent in the chain resolved | no change | High confidence |
| Patent term adjustment | +80 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Oct 16, 2026 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 8,675,547) | resolves to Oct 16, 2026, no earlier than this term, so no change | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | 2 of 2 maintenance fees paid | term ended | High confidence |
