I am unable to directly retrieve the complete list of 23 patent citations and 2 non-patent citations for US patent 7594168 from the current search environment. The search results explain how to access such information on platforms like Google Patents or USPTO Public Search, but do not provide the detailed lists within the snippets. Therefore, I cannot provide a breakdown for each of the 23 patent citations as requested.
However, the provided patent text for US7594168 itself references a related patent as its parent application. While a parent patent is not considered prior art for anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 in the traditional sense for the claims of a continuation patent, it represents the foundational technology from which the current patent derives and is highly relevant to understanding its scope and development.
The most relevant directly identifiable related patent from the provided full text is:
U.S. Pat. No. 6,546,397
- Full Citation: U.S. Pat. No. 6,546,397 (Rempell, S. H.)
- Publication/Filing Date: The application for US7594168 states it is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/454,061, filed Dec. 2, 1999, which matured into U.S. Pat. No. 6,546,397. Thus, the filing date for the parent application is December 2, 1999. The publication date for US 6,546,397 would be its issue date.
- Brief Description: This patent (US 6,546,397) likely covers a "browser-based web site generation tool and run time engine," forming the basis for the improvements and specific claims in US7594168. The abstract of US7594168 states, "The present application is directed to computing systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for building a web site using a browser-based build engine." This indicates a shared core inventive concept with its parent.
- Potential Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102: Performing a definitive anticipation analysis under 35 U.S.C. § 102 requires a detailed, claim-by-claim comparison between the claims of US7594168 and the full disclosure of US 6,546,397. This is a legal determination that an AI cannot make. However, as US7594168 is a continuation of the application that led to US 6,546,397, the subject matter disclosed in US 6,546,397 would generally be considered part of the prior art against other applicants, but it typically would not anticipate the claims of its own continuation patent (US7594168) under § 102 unless new matter was introduced or the claims were not adequately supported by the parent. The claims of US7594168 would likely build upon or refine the inventions disclosed in US 6,546,397.
To provide a comprehensive analysis of potential anticipation for other cited prior art, access to the full text and claims of all 23 cited patents would be necessary, along with a thorough legal and technical comparison, which is beyond the scope of this AI's capabilities in this environment.
