How we calculated this date
| Step | Input | Date after this step | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Jul 6, 2004, when the earliest non-provisional application in its chain was filed (this one was filed Dec 24, 2008) | Jul 6, 2024 | High confidence |
| Continuity chain | A reissue: its term follows the original patent's, with the original's term adjustment | follows the original patent | 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 Dec 26, 2018 | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Dec 26, 2018 | From the USPTO record |
