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 Dec 3, 2018, when application PCT/US2018/063648, the earliest non-provisional in its chain, was filed (this one was filed Jun 18, 2021); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Dec 3, 2038 | 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 | +1371 days, USPTO patent term adjustment record | Sep 4, 2042 | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | Disclaimer resolved from the filed document (refs US 12,602,229) | capped to May 25, 2042 | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
