Thus full-term expiry is 04/08/2009.<br />
Example 5.<br />
[64] = Reissue of <strong>US</strong>4943590, thus full-term expiry of <strong>US</strong>RE34712 is identical to the full-term expiry<br />
of <strong>US</strong>4943590. To calculate the full-term expiry of <strong>US</strong>4943590, refer to the front page of the patent<br />
directly.
