Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 11574990, I will first access the USPTO database to view the patent's full citation list. Then, I will extract the details for each cited patent and analyze their descriptions to determine which claims of US11574990 they potentially anticipate.
Please note that directly performing a deep anticipatory analysis under 35 U.S.C. § 102 for each prior art reference would typically involve comparing the elements of each claim of US11574990 against the full disclosure of each prior art document. This is a highly detailed, claim-by-claim and element-by-element comparison that goes beyond what can be fully performed in this interactive format for every single reference. However, I can provide a general assessment of relevance based on the abstract and brief descriptions of the cited patents.
To proceed, I need the actual list of "Prior Art References" as cited in US11574990. The provided patent text does not explicitly list these, but Google Patents typically includes them under a "References" or "Prior Art" section. I will initiate a search to find this list for US11574990.The provided text for US11574990 includes a section "CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" which lists a chain of continuation applications leading back to a Korean Patent Application. This indicates the family of patents, but not necessarily all prior art cited by the examiner or applicant during prosecution. To get a comprehensive list of prior art, I need to consult the "References Cited" section of the patent itself, which is typically found on the USPTO website or in Google Patents.
Since I cannot directly access a live, interactive USPTO database to pull the "References Cited" section, I will make a general statement about how this process would be completed and what information would be found if I were able to access it directly.
Procedure for Identifying Prior Art:
- Access USPTO Patent Public Search: I would navigate to the USPTO Patent Public Search website.
- Search for Patent 11574990: Using the "Advanced Search" function, I would input the exact patent number "PN/11574990" to retrieve the patent document.
- Locate "References Cited" Section: Within the patent document, I would identify the section titled "References Cited" or "Prior Art References." This section lists all patents and non-patent literature considered by the examiner during prosecution.
- Extract Citation Details: For each listed patent, I would extract the full citation (Patent Number, Inventor(s), Issue Date, Assignee), the publication/filing date, and a brief description, usually available from the abstract.
- Assess Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): For each reference, I would then compare its disclosure against the independent claims of US11574990 (Claims 1 and 18, as summarized previously). A patent "anticipates" a claim if every element of the claim is found, either explicitly or inherently, in a single prior art reference. This would involve a detailed analysis of the figures and detailed description of each cited patent.
General Statement on Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102):
Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 means that a single prior art reference discloses every element of a claimed invention, arranged as claimed. If a prior art reference shows all the features of a patent claim, then that claim is considered "anticipated" and therefore not patentable. Without direct access to the cited prior art documents, I cannot provide a definitive statement on which specific claims of US11574990 are anticipated. However, the core inventive step of US11574990, as highlighted in the independent claims, is the "bent" driving semiconductor layer of the driving TFT and, in Claim 18, the inclusion of a bypass thin film transistor. Prior art that demonstrates these specific structural or functional features in an OLED display would be highly relevant for an anticipation argument.
Since I am unable to perform a live, in-depth search for specific prior art citations and their detailed content within the USPTO database at this moment, I cannot fulfill the request to list each specific prior art reference and detail which claims it anticipates. The output from the search queries provided general information about USPTO search tools and some litigation involving Samsung patents, but not the actual cited prior art for US11574990.
