`

`Introduction – 088 Patent Summary
`
`[1.1] 1. A processor-implemented method for
`controlling the reconfiguration of an electronic
`device, the method comprising the steps of:
`[1.2] receiving information representative of a
`reconfiguration request relating to the electronic
`device;
`[1.3] determining at least one device component
`required to implement the reconfiguration request;
`
`[1.4] comparing the determined component and information
`specifying at least one additional component currently
`implemented in the electronic device with at least one of a list
`of known acceptable configurations for the electronic device
`and a list of known unacceptable configurations for the
`electronic device; and
`[1.5] generating information indicative of an approval or a
`denial of the reconfiguration request based at least in part on
`the result of the comparing step.

`Petition, 15-16 (highlighting and Petition element numbers added).

` Patent Owner does not separately argue for the patentability of claims 11 (an apparatus) and 21 (an article of
`manufacture) independent of its arguments for claim 1 (a method).
`
` Patent Owner does not separately argue for patentability of dependent claims 2-4, 6-10, 12-14, 16-20 of Ground 1.

`

`

`Disputed Issue #1 –
`Apfel inherently teaches “comparing”
`
`

`

`Apfel indisputably teaches “determining at least one device
`component required to implement the reconfiguration request”

`Apfel, 6:49-53, 9:30-38,
`cited in Villasenor, ¶¶ 79-80; Petition, 37-38.

`“should” be downloaded:
`
