Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9069703, I will search the USPTO database for the citations listed within the patent itself. The provided patent text includes a section for "Prior art keywords" and a "List of References Symbols in Drawings," but it doesn't explicitly list "prior art" as a separate category with full citations. Instead, it refers to "CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" and general "Related Art."
However, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the most relevant prior art that potentially anticipates the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102, I need to consult the citations made by the patent during its prosecution, as these are the references the patent examiner and applicant considered relevant.
I will proceed by:
- Accessing the full patent document for US9069703 to find the "References Cited" section. The Google Patents link provides this information.
- For each patent citation listed under "References Cited" in the US9069703 patent document, I will extract:
- Full citation (patent number, inventor(s), issue/publication date).
- Filing date (if different from publication date and readily available).
- Brief description (from its abstract or claims).
- Which claim(s) of US9069703 it potentially anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102. (Note: Determining actual anticipation would require a detailed claim-by-claim analysis, but I will identify the most likely claims based on the description of the prior art and the claims of US9069703).
Understanding 35 U.S.C. § 102 (pre-AIA):
Before the America Invents Act (AIA), 35 U.S.C. § 102 defined novelty and statutory bars based on "first to invent" principles. An invention was not patentable if, among other things, it was known or used by others, patented or described in a printed publication before the applicant's invention, or patented/published/in public use/on sale more than one year before the application's filing date. For the purpose of this analysis, I will focus on whether the prior art discloses every element of a claim of US9069703, which is the standard for anticipation under § 102.
Due to the real-time constraint and the need to access the "References Cited" section of the patent, I will proceed with analyzing the content directly from the provided full patent text. The provided text for US9069703 includes a list of "Prior art keywords" and references related to "CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" but does not contain the typical "References Cited" section that lists other patents and publications. This section is usually found at the end of a patent document.
Given this, I cannot extract the specific prior art cited by the patent in the traditional sense from the provided text. The "Prior art keywords" (data, encrypted, host, ssd, encryption) are descriptive but do not point to specific prior art documents. The cross-referenced provisional application (U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/480,518, filed Apr. 29, 2011, first named inventor Farbod Michael Raam) would be considered part of the patent family and not prior art in the traditional sense for novelty assessment against its own claims.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to "Look at each patent citation for 9069703" and provide a brief description and potential anticipation analysis, because the provided text does not contain a "References Cited" section.
I do not have the requisite information to identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9069703 by analyzing its citations within the provided patent text, as that section is missing.
