This configuration has come to be called the fork in the road, because the data transmission circuit 416 chooses to permit communication as -- at least as described in the ’907 Patent.
Because they’re inclusion in the same patent application would have motivated a skilled artisan to consider them together.” And also because Ellsberry specifically relates them to each other, and also at the bottom you’ll see it’s because they are essentially an arrangement of old elements used in their prior art way with no unpredictable results.
Going back to paragraph 42, Figures 8(a) and 8(b) illustrate a command scheme for a switch control unit combination to -- and here it is -- operate multiple banks concurrently, according to one embodiment of the invention.
JUDGE JIVANI: And my question is your opponents contend that paragraph 33 is evidence that there’s no port disabled option that is described subsequently in the 40 -- you used 40 through 42 somewhere in there -- is not available for read commands.
The next sentence “In row bank mode, read and write Case IPR2018-00362 (Patent 9,606,907 B2) Case IPR2018-00364 (Patent 9,606,907 B2) command are sent only to the targeted memory device, which outputs or receives data in response to that read or write command.” And here they cite to Ellsberry at 33, which the board found to be no port disabling scheme -- a no port disabling scheme.
