But I can't be certain
because the picture quality is fairly bad.
9
MR. BARTLETT:

2
BY MR. ZELLER:
3
Q.
I'll represent to you that in
4
interrogatory responses in this case, Apple has said
5
that the date when the design that's shown here in
6
the '889 design patent was first conceived of,
7
thought of, or reduced to practice is the legal
8
term, kind of put into some kind of fixed form, was
9
September 3rd, 2003.
10
And so with that date in mind, can you
11
tell me one way or another that -- whether that is
12
consistent with your recollection?

I don't have any specific recollection of
that -- of that date.
