Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 12576084, I will perform a search on the USPTO Patent Public Search database for the patent number and then analyze the citations listed within the patent document itself.

As the current date is April 26, 2026, I will use this as the basis for evaluating publication/filing dates against 35 U.S.C. § 102.

Unfortunately, I cannot directly access or interact with the USPTO Patent Public Search database to perform a live search and retrieve the full list of cited prior art and their details. My capabilities allow me to analyze information provided to me. The provided patent text for US12576084 does not explicitly list the "References Cited" section, which would contain the direct prior art citations.

Therefore, to fulfill your request, I need you to provide the "References Cited" section from US patent 12576084. Once you provide that information, I can analyze each reference for its full citation, publication/filing date, brief description, and which claim(s) it potentially anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

Regarding 35 U.S.C. § 102 (Anticipation):

Under 35 U.S.C. § 102, an invention is not patentable if it was described in, or obvious in view of, earlier prior art. For patents filed under the America Invents Act (AIA), the relevant prior art is defined in AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(a) and (b). Generally, a claim is anticipated if the "claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention". There are exceptions, such as disclosures made by the inventor within one year of the effective filing date. For pre-AIA applications, the "by another" clause in 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(a) and (e) is relevant, meaning that an inventor's own work generally isn't prior art against their patent, unless specific criteria are met. The priority date for US12576084 is listed as April 27, 2018, and the filing date is January 31, 2025. This means the patent falls under the AIA.

Once you provide the "References Cited" section, I will proceed with the analysis.
