Regarding claims 1-5 and 11, FIG. 1 teaches a housing composite for a battery comprising a housing element (3) which is configured to be connected to a further housing element (2). FIG. 1-FIG. 2 shows a cover element (14) is connected to the housing element (3). FIG. 1 teaches a temperature-control fluid flows inlet (151) to outlet (152) ( claim 11 ). FIG. 3 teaches a first temperature-control structure comprising a plurality of first flow interference elements (101). FIG. 1 teaches an element of a battery controller (120) in a thermally conductive manner [0085] on the housing element (3). For the last three lines of claim 1 and claims 2-5 , see annotated FIG. 3 below. The claimed invention does not provide specifics on how a first region and a second region having a first longitudinal direction and a second longitudinal direction respectively are determined. The claimed invention fails to require an arrangement of interference elements that is different than what is shown in FIG. 3 of Kopp. PNG media_image1.png 796 1160 media_image1.png Greyscale Regarding claim 6, the interference elements in the row extending in the first longitudinal direction has two different sized interference elements whereas the interference elements in the row extending the second longitudinal direction has the same spacing (see annotated figure above) thereby satisfying “different from on another” in the claim.
