Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 12096973, I will search the USPTO database for the patent and then examine its cited references. Prior art is information that has been made available to the public before the filing date of a patent application and is used to determine if an invention is novel and non-obvious.

The USPTO provides tools like Patent Public Search to search for patents and patent application publications. I will use the patent number 12096973 to access the patent's information, including its cited prior art.

I am unable to directly access the USPTO database or its Patent Public Search tool to retrieve the live citation data for patent US12096973B1 and generate the list of prior art citations with their details. Therefore, I cannot provide the full citation, publication/filing date, brief description, and which claim(s) each reference potentially anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
