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 9519729, I will examine the patent citations listed within the patent itself. Under 35 U.S.C. § 102, a claim is anticipated if every element of the claimed invention is identically disclosed in a single prior art reference before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. This disclosure can be explicit or inherent.
Here's an analysis of the prior art cited in US9519729B2:
Prior Art for US9519729B2
The patent US9519729B2 itself lists several "Related Applications" from which it claims benefit, indicating a lineage of development. These are:
U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/738,486
- Full Citation: U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/738,486, filed Apr. 21, 2007, (to be issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,831,926) entitled “SCALABLE DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT ON MOBILE DEVICES.”
- Publication/Filing Date: April 21, 2007.
- Brief Description: This is a continuation of an earlier application, and its title "SCALABLE DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT ON MOBILE DEVICES" strongly suggests it covers the core subject matter of US9519729B2, particularly the scalable display and manipulation of web content on mobile devices.
- Potential Anticipation: Given its title and status as a continuation, this application likely discloses many, if not all, elements of the independent claims (Claim 1, 11, and 18) of US9519729B2. It would potentially anticipate these claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as it was filed before the application date of US9519729B2 (November 8, 2010).
U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 09/878,097
- Full Citation: U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 09/878,097, filed Jun. 8, 2001, (issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,210,099) entitled “RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT VECTOR DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT.”
- Publication/Filing Date: June 8, 2001.
- Brief Description: This application focuses on "RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT VECTOR DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT," which is a fundamental aspect of US9519729B2. It describes creating resolution-independent vector displays for Internet content, allowing scaling and zooming.
- Potential Anticipation: This application, being much earlier (June 8, 2001, compared to November 8, 2010), is highly likely to anticipate the core aspects of scalable vector representation of web content and its display, as described in Claims 1, 11, and 18. It also claims benefit from Provisional Applications 60/211,019 (June 12, 2000) and 60/217,345 (July 11, 2000), further pushing back the effective filing date of the underlying invention.
U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/211,019
- Full Citation: U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/211,019, filed Jun. 12, 2000, entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT DISPLAY OF HTML AND XML CONTENT.”
- Publication/Filing Date: June 12, 2000.
- Brief Description: This provisional application directly addresses "RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT DISPLAY OF HTML AND XML CONTENT." HTML and XML content translation is a key component of US9519729B2.
- Potential Anticipation: This provisional application likely anticipates the methods and systems for translating HTML and XML into a resolution-independent format for display, as found in Claims 1, 11, and 18. This is a very strong anticipatory reference due to its early filing date and precise subject matter.
U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/217,345
- Full Citation: U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/217,345, filed Jul. 11, 2000, entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTION, RETRIEVAL, AND CONVERSION OF COMPUTER CONTENT TO VECTOR FORMAT FOR RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT DISPLAY.”
- Publication/Filing Date: July 11, 2000.
- Brief Description: This provisional application concerns the "SELECTION, RETRIEVAL, AND CONVERSION OF COMPUTER CONTENT TO VECTOR FORMAT FOR RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT DISPLAY." This directly relates to the process of converting content to a scalable vector representation (SVF) for resolution-independent display, a central theme of US9519729B2.
- Potential Anticipation: This reference potentially anticipates the content translation services described in Claims 1, 11, and 18, particularly the conversion of content to a vector format for scalable display, as well as the retrieval of content.
U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 09/828,511
- Full Citation: U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 09/828,511, filed Apr. 7, 2001, (Abandoned) entitled “RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT VECTOR DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT.”
- Publication/Filing Date: April 7, 2001.
- Brief Description: Similar to Ser. No. 09/878,097, this abandoned application (which Ser. No. 09/878,097 is a Continuation-in-Part of) also covers "RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT VECTOR DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT."
- Potential Anticipation: Although abandoned, its content would be publicly available prior art if published. It likely discloses aspects of resolution-independent vector display that could anticipate Claims 1, 11, and 18. The fact that US9519729B2 claims benefit from this application indicates substantial overlap in subject matter.
U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/045,649 (U.S. Pat. No. 7,584,423)
- Full Citation: U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/045,649 (issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,584,423) entitled “Method, Proxy and System to Support Full-page Web Browsing on Hand-held Devices,” filed Jan. 28, 2005.
- Publication/Filing Date: January 28, 2005.
- Brief Description: This patent describes a "Method, Proxy and System to Support Full-page Web Browsing on Hand-held Devices," which directly relates to the proxy server and client-side functionality for displaying web content on mobile devices as described in US9519729B2.
- Potential Anticipation: This patent, particularly due to its mention of "Proxy and System to Support Full-page Web Browsing on Hand-held Devices," appears to directly anticipate elements of the proxy server, content translation, and client rendering as outlined in Claims 1, 11, and 18 of US9519729B2.
U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/045,757 (U.S. Pat. No. 7,461,353)
- Full Citation: U.S. Non-provisional application Ser. No. 11/045,757 (issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,461,353) entitled “SCALABLE DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT ON MOBILE DEVICES,” filed Jan. 28, 2005.
- Publication/Filing Date: January 28, 2005.
- Brief Description: This patent is titled identically to US9519729B2: "SCALABLE DISPLAY OF INTERNET CONTENT ON MOBILE DEVICES." This indicates a very high degree of overlap in the claimed invention.
- Potential Anticipation: This patent, sharing the exact title and an earlier filing date, is highly likely to anticipate all aspects of Claims 1, 11, and 18 of US9519729B2, covering the methods, systems, and computer-readable media for scalable display of internet content on mobile devices.
Other cited continuation applications (Ser. No. 11/735,477, Ser. No. 11/735,482, Ser. No. 11/738,932, Ser. No. 11/868,124, and Ser. No. 12/326,092) would also constitute prior art and would need to be reviewed to determine specific anticipatory disclosures. However, the explicitly detailed "RELATED APPLICATIONS" are generally the most critical as they often contain the foundational teachings from which later patents in the family build upon.
To be anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102, a single prior art reference must identically disclose every element of a claim, arranged as in the claim. Based on the descriptions, these related applications, particularly those with earlier priority dates, appear to contain identical disclosures to the core inventive concepts of US9519729B2.
