Based on ourreview of the ’114 patent andthe prior art ofrecord, we determine that the definition offered by Petitioner comports with the qualifications a person would have needed to understand the ’114 patentand the priorart.

Patent Ownerarguesthat Cho doesnotdisclose a “liquid reservoir [that] 1s partially defined by the exterior of an atomizing chamber”(Prelim. Resp.8 (citing Ex. 2001 4 47)), that the Petitioner’s “integrated embodiment” mixes and matches embodimentsin a ground presented as anticipatory (id. at 9), and that the “integrated embodiment”is not enabled (id.).

Because we agree with Patent Ownerthat Petitioner hasfailed to establish that Cho describesa “liquid reservoir[that] is partially defined by the exterior of an atomizing chamber”—andthisissue is dispositive—we address only this issue below.

Patent Ownerarguesthat Petitioner’s edited Figure 11 nonetheless does not showthatthe liquid reservoir 1503 is defined by an exterior ofthe atomizing chamberas required by theclaim.
