Q.
Yes.
So if I had asked it as

when I -- to the best of your knowledge, did
10
Glenn Gundersen ever communicate orally with
11
anyone at Apple concerning plaintiffs' marks?
12
A.
I don't know.
In the context
13
of that question, prior to January 27th,

speaking about the two applications and
15
ancillary online information that I've been
16
referring to.
17
Q.
Can you describe with any
18
greater specificity the, quote/unquote,
19
ancillary online information that you
20
referred to?
21
A.
The extent to which I remember
22
is that it was a description of Byron Preiss
23
who was a founder or had other significant
24
involvement in the applicant in question.

Q.
Do you recall what it said

about Byron Preiss?
A.
I believe that it indicated
4
that Byron Preiss had died and his company in
5
question had gone into bankruptcy.
6
Q.
Was this a news article?
7
A.
I don't recall the context.
8
Q.
Was it a bankruptcy filing?
9
A.
I don't believe it was a
10
11
bankruptcy filing.
Q.
When you say "online
12
information," was this information found
13
through the Internet or was it found through
14
a professional search database?
15

17
A.
To the best of my recollection,
it was found through the Internet.
Q.
At that time, did you have an
18
understanding that Byron Preiss and the
19
bankruptcy, those facts related in that
20
online source, referred to the same entity as
21
were the applicants for the two abandoned
22
registrations?
23
A.
I believe so.
24
Q.
That was an understanding you
25
had then, just to clarify?

Q.
Still in connection with the
13
iBooks trademark clearance work, as you sit
14
here today, you're not aware of any searches
15
carried out by Apple or those acting on
16
Apple's behalf other than the iBooks plural
17
form on the Google Web site that are not
18
reflected in this document.
19
A.
Right?
I don't recall specific
20
instances of such search strategies being run

with the exception that we have been talking
22
about online information relating to two
23
abandoned applications, I don't recall the
24
context in which that arose.

A.
Typically it would indicate
15
that the searches that follow on this
16
template are part of a preliminary search.
17
Looking at this sheet, it's clear to me that

that's an inaccurate description of the

strategies that were run because there are

significant number of strategies.
