To my knowledge the show is signed only through season 8. Ratings are slipping with the Season 7 Premier getting the lowest ratings of any premier since the first episode of House aired.
Shows often 'jump the shark' when traditionally consistent elements in the show are deviated from such as the professional relationship between House and Cuddy. In every show I've seen, when the lead male and female characters hook up, that signals that the end is near. Stargate SG-1 for example, at the end of Season 8 O'Neill and Carter hooked up, and only two seasons were produced thereafter, both being qualitatively inferior.
Another reason why this show is unlikely to run past an 8th season is because Hugh Laurie's current salary is $500,000 per episode. These progressively higher salaries are the reason why many quality shows are ended after the 7th season.
So let's discuss what other factors point to a jumping of the shark, and what if any signs point to any continued major events in the storyline. They've already explored the families of House, Foreman, Chase, Cameron, they've had two popular characters killed off (Kutner and Amber) because the actors had better offers come their way. They've pushed the characters to every extreme possible and explored every plausible storyline.
If anyone can point to anything else in support of or against my position that would be great..
EDIT: Here's a chart illustrating my point.

As I keep hearing, there is more Huddy to be put in the series (possibly a Huddy marriage! D: ). They took out 13, killed off Kutner and Amber... to make the series of House MD shorter, I bet. 13 and Kutner (I don't know about Amber) could've been used more and we could've had something there to keep the series alive.
Now it's all about House and Cuddy, throwing the team and the patient out the window.
If they brought 13 back, broke House and Cuddy up, and focused more on the patient and the team (hasn't anyone noticed that House/Cuddy has occupied most/all the screen time in the past new season and little time focused on the patient and the team?), then House MD would probably be longer than Season 7-8.
And please don't bring up that 13 is dying from the disease I'm trying to cure. Me trying to find a cure for Huntington's has nothing to do with 13, I got interested in the disease itself, studied the disease, and I'm going to find a cure for it. Just to let you know.

I haven't read the future spoilers, don't worry. ^^ My friend said it could be possible or true though.
Though I wonder what would happen if House and Cuddy had Huddy babies... eek
