How we calculated this date
| Step | Input | Date after this step | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base term, 20 years from filing | Clock starts Nov 23, 2013, when the earliest non-provisional application in its chain was filed (this one was filed Dec 11, 2016); a parent in its chain could not be resolved (the next row) | Nov 23, 2033 | 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 | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Terminal disclaimer cap | None on record | no cap applied | High confidence |
| Patent term extension | None on file | no change | High confidence |
| Fee events | No fee event states this; the fee state is read from the payments the fee record holds; the fee record shows no payment for this window, and USPTO's status still reads "Patented Case" | no change | Low confidence |
| Reissue | US RE48,444 and US RE48,477 and US RE48,697 and US RE48,945 and US RE49,256 issued Feb 16, 2021, and this patent's term continues in it (35 U.S.C. 251, 252) | surrendered Feb 16, 2021 | High confidence |
| Surrendered on reissue | The steps above, in order | Feb 16, 2021 | Low confidence |
