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 9532164, I will review the cited references. The Google Patents page for US9532164 provides a list of "Cited by examiner" and "Cited by third party" documents. I will focus on the examiner citations as they were considered by the patent office during prosecution.
Please note that a definitive assessment of anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 would require a detailed claim-by-claim analysis, which is beyond the scope of this response. The following identifies potential areas of overlap.
Here are the most relevant prior art citations for US patent 9532164 based on the information provided by Google Patents:
Parent Application:
- Full Citation: US 2009/0100342 A1 (Jakobson et al.)
- Publication/Filing Date: Claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/974,258 filed Oct. 12, 2007.
- Brief Description: This is the parent application from which US9532164 claims priority. It relates to "relaying address information to a mapping application and/or mapping service for display on a common map." It describes the background of mapping services and the prior art limitation where "new mapping content origination outside of the mapping application... maybe automatically displayed on a new digital map, wherein the new digital map does not contain any other mappable information previously displayed." The present invention, as described in US9532164, aims to overcome this by combining mappable data from disparate sources onto a single digital map with existing content.
- Potential Anticipated Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: As the parent application, it contains much of the foundational technology. The core concept of relaying address information to a mapping application for display on a common map is present. The distinction lies in whether the new mappable information is displayed on a new map or integrated with existing mapping content on the same map. Therefore, elements of all independent claims (1, 10, 16, 22, 25) that describe receiving and relaying location information to a mapping application are likely present. The novelty of US9532164 likely resides in the integration of new content with existing map content rather than generating a completely new map.
Other Cited Prior Art (to be retrieved from a USPTO search for 9532164):
To provide a comprehensive list of prior art, including examiner citations, I would typically access a USPTO search tool (such as Patent Public Search) to retrieve the complete list of cited references. The Google Patents page provides a good starting point, but direct access to the official prosecution history via USPTO systems would yield the most authoritative and exhaustive list of cited prior art by the examiner.
Without direct access to the full list of examiner citations from an official USPTO search, I cannot provide a complete analysis of all prior art references for US9532164. However, the priority document (US 2009/0100342 A1) is a critical piece of prior art for understanding the development of the invention.
