Subject Regarding USPTO Application No. 20250094885 / Core Algorithm vs. Feature Differentiation
ADMINISTRATIVE PRIOR ART STATEMENT & DEFENSE OF PRIOR CONCEPTION (V.4) Authors/Creators: Salem, Ayman Description: This document constitutes a formal administrative prior art statement and forensic dossier establishing the prior conception, independent development, and live commercial operation of the Hotel-Plus™ automated hotel room relocation and split-stay booking algorithm. Owned by Anuket Digital Group OÜ (Registration Code: 14804245), this system was developed starting and reached full commercial deployment by early 2019. Forensic Evidence of Prior Existence: We present an additional layer of forensic evidence confirming that the core invention—the automated relocation, split-stay logic, and combination of room types to create a full stay—was live, operational, and publicly accessible well before the launch of competing services and the subsequent filing of the patents currently under dispute. This evidentiary layer includes: Validated Server Implementation: SQL database exports (dated September 2020) confirming the underlying technical architecture of the relocation/stitching logic. Commercial Traffic Records: Audited Meta (Facebook) and Google Ads invoices and performance reports (2019) documenting active, paid promotion of the live Hotel-Plus™ platform. Operational Proof of Life: Direct correspondence with the hosting provider (DreamHost) regarding the live status and search visibility of the Hotel-Plus™ platform during its active deployment. Chronological Dissemination: Public YouTube demonstrations (May 30, 2019) and marketing campaigns (April 2019) that publicly disclosed the invention months before the launch of Agoda’s "Save and Mix" feature (July 2019). Prior Art Conflict: This forensic record provides irrefutable evidence that the "core invention" (the automated stitching of inventory to solve availability gaps) was fully realized, live, and publicly disclosed by the inventor long before the filing of US Patent No. 12,141,720 and the associated pending Application No. 20250094885. The inventor asserts that these dated artifacts constitute definitive prior art, rendering the claims of novelty in the cited patents invalid The formal Third-Party Preissuance Submission regarding this prior art was sent to the USPTO Helpdesk on May 28, 2026.
