Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 11716171, I will examine the citations listed within the patent itself. The USPTO provides tools for patent searches and access to prior art citations. Prior art is crucial in determining patentability under 35 U.S.C. § 102, which addresses novelty.

Unfortunately, I cannot directly access or "search" the USPTO database in a live, interactive manner to pull up the full list of cited prior art for US11716171 within this environment. While I can confirm the existence of the patent and its general information from the previous steps, the specific list of prior art citations and their detailed descriptions, which would typically be found in the "References Cited" section of the patent document, are not available in the provided text.

Therefore, I cannot, with high confidence, provide a list of the most relevant prior art for US patent 11716171, including full citations, publication/filing dates, brief descriptions, and which claims they potentially anticipate, based solely on the information I have been given. My tools allow for general Google searches, but not direct, authenticated, and comprehensive USPTO database lookups for all cited prior art documents and their detailed content to perform an anticipation analysis.
