`Summary of Issues in 936 and 938 IPRs
`(1) Level of Ordinary Skill in the Art (935 IPR as well)
`(2) Light Sensitive Switch (936 IPR)
`• Does Wu disclose a light sensitive switch
`•
`If so, would it have been obvious to combine Chliwnyj with Wu
`(3) Remaining Switch Issues (936 and 938 IPRs)
`•
`Exposed (936) and accessible (938) switches: obvious to combine Chliwnyj with
`Hung, Xu and/or Pu
`• Desired fixed color (936) or desired lighting effect (938): obvious to combine
`Chliwnyj with Pu
`(4) RGB LEDs – obvious to combine Chliwnyj with Lau (938 IPR)
