Consolidated Listing of Patents
Extended Under 35 U.S.C. 156(e)(1)
Section 156 of Title 35, United States Code, generally provides that the
term of a patent may be extended for a period of up to five years
if the patent claims a product, or a method of making or using a
product, that has been subject to certain defined regulatory reviews by
either the Food and Drug Administration or the Department of Agriculture.
More detailed information on patent term extension under 35 U.S.C. 156 is
available in the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure,
Sections 2750 - 2764.
Listed below are all of the patents that have been extended pursuant to
35 U.S.C. 156(e)(1). This listing is also posted on the USPTO internet
web site at: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/dapp/opla/term/156.html,
and will continue to be updated on the USPTO web site.
The tradename indicated below is generally the trademark of the product
that was specified in the patent term extension application.
The original expiration date indicated below is the expiration date
determined by 35 U.S.C. 154(a)(2), and 35 U.S.C. 154(c)(1). The original
expiration date indicated below assumes that any required maintenance fees
are paid. (35 U.S.C. 41(b))
The extension indicated below is the period of extension under 35 U.S.C.
156(e)(1). If there is a single asterisk (*) to the right of the extension
in the chart below, then the period of extension was recalculated after the
extension was originally granted in order to assist the public in
determining the extended expiration dates of patents. Patents that issued
from applications filed before June 8, 1995 may have had their original
expiration dates changed due to the amendment of 35 U.S.C. 154 in the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (Public Law 103-465). For example,
U.S. Patent No. 4,201,772 was originally given a patent term extension of
468 days. The original expiration date of the patent was changed due to
the URAA (35 U.S.C. 154(c)(1)) from an original expiration date of
May 6, 1997 (a 17-year term) to March 28, 1998 (a "twenty-year" term).
Furthermore, since the product "Promit" identified in the patent
term extension application for U.S. Patent No. 4,201,772 was approved on
October 30, 1984, the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 154(c)(3) limited the
extension to 14 years after the approval date, or October 30, 1998.
Since the previously-granted extension of 468 days when added to
March 28, 1998 would have extended the patent to July 9, 1999, a date
that is after October 30, 1998, the date set by 35 U.S.C. 156(c)(3), the
number in the "Extension" column below is 216 (the number of days from
March 28, 1998 to October 30, 1998) with an asterisk to indicate that the
extension was recalculated. Examples of patent term extension calculations
are posted at:
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/foia/comm/pte/pte.htm.
If there are two asterisks in the extension column, then the
"twenty-year" term provided in 35 U.S.C. 154(c)(1) was longer than the
original patent term plus the previously granted extension.
If there are three asterisks in the extension column, then the extension
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 156(e)(1) is added to the approval date, not the
expiration date of the patent, as provided by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(E)(ii).
For these patents, the original expiration date of the patent has been
omitted so as to avoid confusion.
An approval date is only specified below when the patent term extension
to which the patentee was entitled was limited by 35 U.S.C. 156(c)(3).
The extended expiration date provided below is for reference purposes only
and should be checked for accuracy by reference to the patent file history
and by verifying that any required maintenance fees have been paid.
