Please look at Topic 11.

A.
Yes.

Q.
Is it your understanding that Apple designated
8
you to be a corporate representative to testify on Topic
9
11?
10
A.
Yes, they did.
11
Q.
Are there any other topics in this Notice of

Deposition that you are going to be testifying about as

I need to go through each topic.

That will be covered by another witness?

I believe so.

I will not be speaking about market share and

THE WITNESS:
Right.
So I've worked on
11
Apple advertising for a long time, certainly from the
12
beginning of iPhone and iPad.
13
What I'm aware of, the process, what the team
14
does, the amount of money that's spent, the care and
15
design throughout every stage of the process is a
16
critical part to getting Apple's message out.
17
What I have stated in my declaration is that
18
important -- the key to that message is our product
19
design.
20
We spend, as I said, a lot of time and money
21
and care and nights and weekends ensuring that we've

done that to beyond the best of our abilities.

being harmed by the sales of Samsung devices?
A.
I do not have specific knowledge of that, but
6
what I can say is that it's -- it seems to be quite
7
obvious that if you have a product that is well known
8
and has certain -- a certain look and feel and function

to it, and you've spent a lot of time, money and care

11
someone comes along and copies what you've done, that at

8

That's actually outside the scope
of her designation.

14
15
I -- I don't have our sales
I believe somebody might speak to that.
BY MS. MAROULIS:
Q.
But you yourself do not know of any evidence
16
showing that the Apple sales declined because of Samsung
17
devices; correct?
18
A.
I don't have those figures.
19
Q.
Do you have any information whether Apple's
20
market share declined as a result of the sale of Samsung
21
devices?

5

just speculating?
A.
I don't have any evidence of that.
My guess --
my guess is that we lost some customers.
Q.
That is your guess, not supported by any
information; correct?

BY MS. MAROULIS:
Q.
Do you have any evidence of erosion of Apple's
7
distinctiveness in customers' minds as a result of
8
Samsung's phones?
9
A.
I don't have evidence.
10
Q.
So you don't have evidence at all that Apple
11
has been harmed in any way by the sale of Samsung's
12
phones; correct?
13
A.
I focus on our advertising and what we're doing
14
in our advertising and moving our advertising forward.
15
And I don't spend -- I don't have time to spend on
16
pulling data such as that.
17
Does it exist?
So I do not have that data.
Probably.
18
Q.
You don't know whether it exists or not; right?
19
A.
I don't know.
20
Q.
So your testimony on this topic is limited to
21
amount of dollars that Apple spends on advertising; is
22
that right?

MS. TAYLOR:
Mischaracterizes her testimony.

Q.
Ms. Twiggs, did you collect any documents in
connection with this litigation?
A.
There was a document regarding our spending for
iPad and iPhone that was collected.
9
Q.
Any other documents?
10
A.
The documents as part of my declaration?
11
Q.
Let me clarify.
12
In connection with the litigation parties
13
collective exchange of documents, besides the
14
spreadsheet you testified before about, did you collect
15
and give to counsel any additional documents?
16
17
18
A.
I have -- there's been nothing else that I've
been asked to share or to collect.
Q.
And so the collection of the advertisements
19
that were attached to your declaration did not come from
20
your files or did it?
21
22
23
MS. TAYLOR:
That assumes facts not in evidence
and possibly mischaracterizes her testimony.
THE WITNESS:
So the way that the ads were
24
collected, we have sort of a central collection point.

They were gathered together and shared with the legal
