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 Jan 16, 2013, when application 13/743,254, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Feb 5, 2016) | Jan 16, 2033 | 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 | 3 of 3 maintenance fees paid | In force | High confidence |
| Computed term end | The steps above, in order | Jan 16, 2033 | Low confidence |
