Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9063755 and assess potential anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102, a thorough review of the patent's cited references is necessary. Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 means that every element of a claim, as broadly interpreted, must be disclosed either explicitly or inherently in a single prior art reference.

The patent US9063755 lists the following prior art references:

U.S. Patent Documents:

• U.S. Patent No. 6,857,006 (Rempell et al.)

  • Full Citation: US 6,857,006 B1
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: February 15, 2005. The filing date for 6,857,006 appears to be August 26, 2002.
  • Brief Description: This patent describes a system and method for presenting information on a client device, particularly for generating web pages for display on a device with limited display capabilities. It focuses on compacting data to efficiently transmit web page information.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: Given that US9063755 describes a "Portable Description Language (PDL)" that involves compacting and compressing data, and explicitly mentions "One embodiment for compacting data that may be used is described in Rempell," this patent likely anticipates claims related to the efficient generation, compaction, and transmission of data for display on mobile devices. This could potentially impact Claim 1 (system for generating code), Claim 9 (method using platform-dependent and independent code, where efficiency of transfer is key for the independent code), and Claim 16 (method for displaying content using web services, where the underlying data format would be relevant). Specifically, the detailed description of compacting data, including multimedia objects, into Boolean, integer, and string arrays, and the use of delta compression and high watermarks, directly relates to the PDL described in US9063755.

• U.S. Patent No. 7,430,715 (Kashiwagi et al.)

  • Full Citation: US 7,430,715 B2
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: September 30, 2008. The filing date for 7,430,715 appears to be May 23, 2005.
  • Brief Description: This patent generally relates to systems and methods for delivering content to mobile devices, potentially involving adaptation of content for different device capabilities.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: This patent could potentially anticipate aspects of Claim 9 (method for providing information to platforms using platform-dependent and platform-independent code) and Claim 16 (method for displaying content on a platform utilizing a database of web services), particularly regarding the general delivery and adaptation of content for mobile devices. The specific mechanisms of content adaptation and delivery described would need to be compared against the claims of US9063755.

• U.S. Patent No. 7,512,935 (Grossman et al.)

  • Full Citation: US 7,512,935 B2
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: March 31, 2009. The filing date for 7,512,935 appears to be July 3, 2007.
  • Brief Description: This patent deals with creating and managing content for mobile devices, often involving templates and modular content.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: This patent may be relevant to Claim 1 (system for generating code including an authoring tool to define objects for presentation) and Claim 16 (method for displaying content by defining an object for presentation), especially concerning the authoring and template-based creation of mobile content. The degree of anticipation would depend on how explicitly Grossman et al. disclose the association of objects with web service components and the generation of executable code as described in US9063755.

• U.S. Patent No. 7,543,267 (Yee)

  • Full Citation: US 7,543,267 B2
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: June 2, 2009. The filing date for 7,543,267 appears to be September 28, 2005.
  • Brief Description: This patent generally covers methods and systems for generating user interfaces, potentially adaptable to various display environments, including mobile devices.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: This could be relevant to Claim 1 (system with an authoring tool to define objects for presentation on a display) and Claim 16 (method of defining an object for presentation), particularly if it describes an authoring process for creating user interfaces for different platforms.

• U.S. Patent No. 7,788,633 (Rempell et al.)

  • Full Citation: US 7,788,633 B2
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: August 31, 2010. The filing date for 7,788,633 appears to be February 15, 2005.
  • Brief Description: This patent is another by Rempell et al. and likely pertains to aspects of mobile content delivery, potentially building upon or further detailing concepts from US 6,857,006.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: As with US 6,857,006, this patent by the same inventor(s) suggests a strong likelihood of anticipating claims related to the architecture and methodology for presenting information on mobile devices. This would specifically pertain to Claim 1, Claim 9, and Claim 16, especially if it describes the player/application model or the binding of UI objects to web services.

• U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0044991 (Rempell)

  • Full Citation: US 2004/0044991 A1
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: March 4, 2004. The filing date for 2004/0044991 appears to be August 26, 2002.
  • Brief Description: This patent application is also by Rempell and likely covers systems and methods for delivering customized content to various mobile devices, potentially involving a "thin client" architecture.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: Given the inventorship and subject matter, this application is highly relevant and likely anticipates aspects of all three independent claims (Claim 1, Claim 9, and Claim 16), particularly the use of a device-specific player and a device-independent application, and potentially the mechanisms for customizing content. The description of a "thin client architecture" ("Player") and the generation of content for various devices directly aligns with key aspects of US9063755.

Foreign Patent Documents:

• WO 2009/014769 (Rempell et al.)
  • Full Citation: WO 2009/014769 A1
  • Publication/Filing Date: Publication date: January 29, 2009. The filing date for WO 2009/014769 appears to be July 22, 2008.
  • Brief Description: This is a PCT application by Rempell et al., indicating international protection sought for inventions related to mobile content delivery.
  • Potential Anticipated Claims: As another publication by the same inventors, this PCT application is highly likely to disclose subject matter that anticipates or renders obvious elements of Claim 1, Claim 9, and Claim 16. The content would need to be compared in detail, but it is expected to cover similar concepts of authoring tools, device-specific and device-independent code, and web service integration for mobile devices.

Summary of Anticipation Analysis under 35 U.S.C. § 102:

For a prior art reference to anticipate a claim under 35 U.S.C. § 102, it must disclose "each and every element as set forth in the claim, either expressly or inherently described, in a single prior art reference".

The most relevant prior art references appear to be those by Rempell et al. (US 6,857,006, US 7,788,633, and US 2004/0044991 A1, WO 2009/014769 A1). These documents, being by the same inventors and often preceding the filing date of US9063755, are highly likely to contain disclosures that directly address or overlap with the claimed invention. Specifically:

• US 6,857,006 (Rempell et al.) appears particularly relevant to the data compaction and efficient delivery aspects, which are fundamental to the "Portable Description Language (PDL)" concept in US9063755. If US 6,857,006 explicitly details a method and system for generating code that includes a device-independent format (like the PDL) and a device-specific interpreter (like the Player), and if it covers the association of displayed objects with content, it could directly anticipate claims 1, 9, and 16.
• US 2004/0044991 A1 (Rempell) would also be highly relevant if it describes the core player/application architecture, device-independent programming, and the process of authoring content for diverse mobile platforms.

The other cited U.S. patents (Kashiwagi et al., Grossman et al., and Yee) might anticipate specific elements related to content delivery, authoring interfaces, or general UI generation, but their direct impact on the unique combination of features in US9063755 (authoring tool + web service database + object-to-component binding + two-code execution model) would need a more detailed claim-by-claim comparison.
