14
MR. ZELLER:
Q.
Good morning.
15
A
Good morning.
16
Q
I understand you've had the pleasure of being
17
deposed at least a couple of times before, but one, if
18
I understand correctly, and tell me if -- if you
19
recall this, was a case called Apple versus Future
20
Power?
21
A
Yes, I do recall.
22
Q
All right.
23
And generally speaking, that was about the
24
iMac?
25
A
Yes.

You may proceed.
7
MR. ZELLER:
Q.
What I'd like to show you is
8
a three-dimensional mockup of a tablet that's been
9
produced by Apple in this case, and it's generally
10
known as the 035 mockup or -- or prototype, and please
11
take a look at that.
12
Have you seen the 035 mockup before?
13
A
Yes, I have.
14
Q
And when do you remember first seeing the 035
15
16
mockup?
A
My recollection of -- of first seeing it is
17
very hazy, but it was, I'm guessing, sometime between
18
2002 and 2004, some -- but it was -- I remember seeing
19
this and -- and perhaps models similar to this when we
20
were first exploring tablet designs that ultimately
21
became the iPad.
22
23
24
25
Q
Do you recognize the 035 mockup as a mockup
that the Apple model shop produced?
A
I actually don't know which model shop
made -- made this, but I recognize this as a model
TSG Reporting - Worldwide
(877) 702-9580
Highly Confidential - Outside Counsels' Eyes Only
Page 161
1
2
that was produced during our exploration.
Q
Do you recall if the -- the group that
3
produced the actual physical model of this 035 mockup
4
was an internal group or whether it was an outside
5
vendor?
6
A
I have no -- no recollection.
7
Q
Is the 035 mockup a tablet design that you
8
9
personally worked on?
A
It was -- the best of my recollection, this
10
was a design that was modeled as a consequence of the
11
way that we work, which is as a team.
12
13
Q
Do you recognize the 03 mockup design as a
design that you, among other people, invented?
14
A
You said 03.
15
Q
'5 mockup, the physical one that you have in
16
17
front of you?
A
Yes, I recognize this as one of -- one of the
18
models that we made as part of the design process, as
19
part of the exploration.
20
Where my recollection is hazy is trying to
21
remember, you know, at what point in the exploration
22
we made this, the circumstances around making it.
23
24
25
But I certainly recognize it as a model that
we made as part of that exploration.
Q
Is the design that's shown in the
TSG Reporting - Worldwide
(877) 702-9580
'889
Highly Confidential - Outside Counsels' Eyes Only
Page 162
1
design patent, which is marked as Exhibit 8, the same
2
design as the 035 mockup?
3
A
I think that there are many similarities.
4
Q
Apart from being able to say that there are
5
many similarities, can you tell me with any certainty
6
one way or another whether the design that's shown in
7
the '889 design patent is the same design as the 035
8
mockup?
9
MR. JACOBS:
THE WITNESS:
10
Objection; lacks foundation.
I can say confidently that
11
there are many, many elements that are represented in
12
this model that I see in our patent.
13
MR. ZELLER:
Q.
And can you tell me anything
14
beyond that with any certainty in terms of whether
15
that's the same design or not?
16
A
I think I -- I think I've done my best to
17
answer the question, which is I think there are many
18
elements that I see here that I see in our design
19
patent.
20
Q
21
models --
22
A
Yeah.
23
Q
-- of any tablet designs that were created
Are you aware of any three-dimensional
24
prior to March 17, 2004, that was closer in its
25
appearance to the design that's shown in the
TSG Reporting - Worldwide
(877) 702-9580
Highly Confidential - Outside Counsels' Eyes Only
Page 163
1
2
'889 design patent than the 035 mockup?
A
I'm not aware of any that are closer or less
3
close.
4
patent, and I can see many similarities.
5
Q
I recall this model; I, of course, recall this
Is it your best understanding that the model
6
that was created to reflect the design that's shown
7
here in the '889 design patent is the 035 mockup, or
8
is it your impression that there's another mockup that
9
was a rendition -- a three-dimensional rendition of
10
the '889 design?
11
MR. JACOBS:
Objection; lacks foundation.
12
THE WITNESS:
Yes, and I'm afraid I also
13
don't understand your question.
14
another model that reflects this.
15
You said is there
My sense is that we would make a model, and
16
then from what we learned, we would then work on
17
defining a patent, not the other way around.
18
19
MR. ZELLER:
And that's fair enough.
So let
me -- let me rephrase it.
20
Q
You have in front of you the 035 mockup.
21
A
Yes.
22
Q
And I'll tell you, that's -- that's the one
23
that we have here.
24
A
Yes.
25
Q
And so what I'm really trying to find out is:
