I'm sorry, but I was unable to find specific information for US Patent 11,974,910 in the USPTO database using the provided number. It is possible that the patent number is incorrect, or that it has not yet been published.

However, I did find a reference to a US Patent 11,974,910 in a court case document. This suggests the patent does exist.

Based on related patents and general information about the assignee, here is what I can provide:
