`certainly “published” prior art that Unified could have identified
`“through prior art searching,” just as Samsung had.”

`
`MemoryWeb’s Original Position on EX1005
`
`“Petitioner has failed to establish that such a POSITA would.
`Instead, the evidence shows that: (1) a POSITA exercising
`reasonable diligence would not have known to search for Aperture
`3 or A3UM, and (2) a POSITA exercising reasonable diligence
`would not have found the website version of A3UM on
`Apple.com.”
`
`PO Response at 17-18.
`
`“Even if Petitioner sufficiently demonstrated the user manual
`page met the threshold for public accessibility discussed above,
`Petitioner has not established that the PDF version of A3UM
`submitted to the Board (Ex. 1005) accurately represents what a
`visitor to the Aperture 3 user manual page would have seen
`before June 2010.”

`
`Institution Decision re: A3UM
`
`Here, Petitioner submits evidence that A3UM, Apple’s Aperture 3 User Manual (Ex. 1005)
`was publicly available and publicly disseminated as early as February 2010. 4 Petitioner
`provides the declaration of Mr. Matthew Birdsell (Ex. 1020), a Content Manager at Apple,
`who testifies that he worked for Apple since 2002 and has been a full-time Apple employee
`since June 2010. Ex. 1020 ¶¶ 1–2. Mr. Birdsell testifies that he “personally worked on
`Apple documentation and publications regarding each version of Aperture throughout its
`lifespan, including Aperture 3.” Id. ¶ 2.
`
`In our view, Petitioner provides credible testimonial evidence in the form of Mr. Birdsell’s
`declaration that Apple made the Aperture 3 User Manual (A3UM) available to the public
`through the Apple website as early as February 2010 in connection with the release of
`Apple’s Aperture 3 product. Mr. Birdsell testifies that he worked for Apple since 2002 and
`has been a full-time employee at Apple since June 2010. Ex. 1020 ¶ 1. Mr. Birdsell
`testifies that he has “personally worked on Apple documentation and publications
`regarding each version of Aperture throughout its lifespan, including Aperture 3,” and that
`he is “personally familiar with the Aperture 3 User Manual that was distributed with the
`Aperture 3 product,” confirming that Exhibit 1005 “is an accurate copy of the Aperture 3
`User Manual that was distributed with the initial version of the Aperture 3 product (i.e.,
`version 3.0).” Id. ¶¶ 2, 4.

`petitioner ‘reasonably could have raised’ in its petition.”
`
`“If [the skilled searcher] employed ‘scorched earth’ tactics to find

`Palomar Technologies v. MRSI Systems
`
`“Finally, every reasonable search
`must have a stopping point.
`Kunin's opinion assumes that a
`reasonably diligent searcher would
`have not stopped once Isaacs was
`located, and would have continued
`beyond that point. But without
`hindsight analysis, a searcher
`would have no reason to know
`that additional helpful references
`existed and remained
`undiscovered. Nor, for that matter,
`would a diligent search necessarily
`continue if significant prior art had
`already been located.”
`
`“It stands to reason, therefore, that
`in hindsight there will almost
`always be a seemingly simple
`search pathway that could have
`led a searcher from the patent to
`the reference.”

`
`
`
`Mr. Lhymn’s Assignment Was Based on Hindsight
`
`13 Q. Is it your understanding that
`14 the opinion you're giving here is about
`15 what would be a reasonably diligent search
`16 in the context of an invalidity search?
`17 A. My search strings only relate
`18 to whether a skilled searcher would have
`19 located the references.
`20 Q. And the references are meant to
`21 do what? What's their relationship to the
`22 '228 patent?
`23 A. The references were provided to
`24 me in that those were references that as a
`25 skilled searcher, can they be found by a
`1 skilled searcher of ordinary skill in a
`2 reasonably diligent search within the time
`3 frame. That was my assignment.
`
`16. I further understand that one way of
`showing an ordinarily skilled searcher’s
`reasonably diligent search is to identify the
`relevant search string and search source that
`could identify the allegedly unavailable
`prior art and explain why such a criterion
`would be part of a skilled searcher’s diligent
`search.

`16 Q. Mr. Lhymn, you testified that
`17 Exhibit 2104 indicates to a skilled
`18 searcher that the Apple Aperture manual was
`19 archived as early as February 13, 2010, but
`20 you would agree that Exhibit 2107 is not a
`21 copy of a manual archived on February 13,
`22 2010, correct?
`23 A. That is correct.
`
`9 Q. Mr. Lhymn, 2107 and A3UM,
`10 Exhibit -- sorry. Exhibit 2107 and A3UM,
`11 Exhibit 1005, have different copyright
`12 dates, correct?
`13 A. Yes, they do.
`14 Q. In that sense they're different
`15 versions.
`16 MR. CHRISTOPHER: Objection.
`17 A. I can confirm the dates are
`18 different.
`19 Q. And so you got to Exhibit
`20 2104 -- excuse me, 2107 from Exhibit 2104,
`21 right? That's the path you take in
`22 paragraphs 45, 46, 47 and 48, correct?
`23 A. Yes.· Ultimately from 2104 we
`24 end up at 2107.
`25 Q. And the copyright date on 2107
`1 is 2012, right?
`2 A. That is correct.

`
`Lhymn Deposition: EX2107 Is After Critical Date
`
`18 Q.· · Mr. Lhymn, did you apply a date
`19 restriction in your declaration?
`20 A. It's common for a skilled
`21 searcher to apply date restrictions based
`22 on critical date given to us by the client.
`23 Q. And did you do so?
`24 A. I need to -- I'm going to
`25 reference my exhibit again.
`1 I did do so, yes.
`2 Q. Now, Mr. Lhymn, can I ask you
`3 to look at your Exhibit 2107 again, page 2.
`4 A. Yes.
`5 Q. Does it have a copyright date
`6 of 2012?
`7 A. Yes.
`8 Q. I'd like you to look at Exhibit
`9 1005, A3UM.
`10 A. Yes.
`11 Q. Does it have a copyright date
`12 of 2009?
`13 A. That's correct.
`
`5 Q. So they contain different
`6 information, right? They contain different
`7 dates.
`8 A. I can confirm the dates are
`9 different.
`
`20 Q. If you could take a look at
`21 your paragraph 48, please, we've been
`22 talking about Exhibit 2107 that has a 2012
`23 copyright date, right?
`24 A. Yes.
`25 Q. That 2012 document with a
`1 copyright -- sorry, the document with a
`2 ·2012 copyright date was archived, according
`3 ·to the link you clicked, in 2017, right?
`4 A.· · That is correct, with an
`5 ·earliest date of October 11, 2011.
`6 Q. October 11, 2011 is after the
`7 date you have argued is the earliest
`8 priority date for the '228 patent, right?
`9 MR. CHRISTOPHER: Objection to
`10 form.
`11 A. It is correct that this date is
`12 after the critical date.
`13 Q. The earliest date, October 11,
`14 2011 that you just testified about, is
`15 after June 9, 2011 that you reference in
`16 paragraph 37 of your declaration.
`17 A. That is correct.

`
`Apple’s suggestion that a skilled searcher would not have located A3UMon
`
`the DVD (Opp., 11 n.2) is also inconsistent with its argument that “knowledge of

`
`Lhymn Deposition: Hindsight Search Methodology
`
`5 Q. And I believe your testimony in
`6 your declaration is that Exhibit 2100 is
`7 the results of a search that you ran,
`8 correct?
`9 A. That is correct.
`10 Q. And I think there are 141
`11 results, but you can check me.
`12 A. That is correct.
`13 Q. And you give testimony in your
`14 declaration about the 100th result on this
`15 list, right?
`16 A. That is correct.
`17 Q. That's the Salvador patent that
`18 you talk about?
`19 A. Correct, Exhibit 2101.
`20 Q. Mr. Lhymn, when you were
`21 looking at the results -- you did look at
`22 these results in Exhibit 2100, right?
`23 A. Yes.
`24 Q. When you were looking at the
`25 results between the first result and the
`1 100th result, what was your assessment
`2 about whether the results were converging
`3 or diverging?
`4 A. I did not take notes on that.
`5 I do not know.
`
`15 Q. And you agree that PatWorld
`16 does relevance ranking, right? That's how
`17 it sorts results, unless you choose to do
`18 it by title.
`19 A. They do have a relevance
`20 ranking.
`21 Q. Okay, so you'd expect the lower
`22 numbers, like 1, to be more relevant than
`23 the higher numbers, like 141, right? Based
`24 on your search.
`25 A.· · I believe that's what PatWorld
`1 aims for.
`
`13 Q.· · So you just kept looking until
`14 you can find anywhere in the search results
`15 something that you could argue pointed to
`16 the A3UM document?
`17 MR. CHRISTOPHER: Objection to
`18 form.
`19 A. My task was to determine if a
`20 skilled searcher -- if an ordinarily
`21 skilled searcher performing a reasonably
`22 diligent search in the time frame would
`23· ·have located the Belitz reference in the
`24· ·Aperture 3 manual. My task was not to show
`25 every other reference that could be
` 1 relevant.· That was not my task.

`
`
`
`Mr. Lhymn’s PatWorld Search
`
`10 Q. And by the time an ordinarily
`11 skilled searcher reached this result in the
`12 relevance ranked list that PatWorld
`13 provides in Exhibit 2100, they would have
`14 looked at 99 other patents and the
`15 references that they cite, right?
`16 A. Correct.
`
`18 Q. By the way, just to be clear,
`19 you don't talk at all about results 1
`20 through 99 in your declaration, do you?
`21 A. No, I do not detail those
`22 references.
`23 Q. You don't just not detail them,
`24 you don't say a word about them, do you?
`25 A. No, I do not. My -- again, my
`1 task was to determine if an ordinarily
`2 skilled searcher performing a reasonably
`3 diligent search in the time frame would
`4 have located Belitz in the Aperture 3
`5 manual. My assignment was not to discuss
`6 or analyze every single reference that
`7 appears in any of the search results.
`8 Q. But your testimony is that a
`·9· ·reasonably skilled searcher would have
`10· ·reviewed these as part of a reasonably
`11· ·diligent search.
`12 A.· · Yes.· At least reviewing the
`13 information presented in Exhibit 2100,
`14 correct.
`15 · Q.· · So that would include the first
`16 hit, which is Exhibit 1106, right?
`17 A. Exhibit 1106 --
`18 Q. Sorry, that's the patent that
`19 ends in '354.
`20 A. Yes, this was the first hit in
`21 Exhibit 2100.
`22 Q. So as part of a reasonably
`23 diligent search, an ordinarily skilled
`24 searcher would review that.
`25 · A.· · Yes.

`
`
`
`Mr. Lhymn re: When to End a Reasonably Diligent Search
`
`1 Q.· · So what standard do you use to
`2 judge whether a search is reasonably
`3 diligent?
`4 · A. So as a skilled searcher, we
`5 often -- patent searching is a very complex
`6 art form.· So it does require dynamics, it
`7 requires responding to references that
`8 you're seeing, adjusting and iterating; for
`9 a skilled searcher to know when a diligent
`10 ·search should, for instance, stop, where
`11 reference is located, are the references
`12 converging, are we seeing the same
`13 references over and over again, are
`14 references becoming divergent, becoming
`15 more and more irrelevant, away from the
`16 core of what we're searching for.
`17 Those are some of the
`18 qualitative standards that a skilled
`19 searcher uses to determine what is a
`20 diligent search.
`21 Q. Mr. Lhymn, do you speak in your
`22 declaration about -- in your opinions about
`23 a search for the '228 patent whether
`24 references were converging or diverging in
`25 the searches you did?
`1 A.· · No.
`
`8 Q.· · Do the results of the search
`9 dictate when it's finished, in your mind?
`10 A.· · That can be one factor, of
`11 course.
`12 Q. What are the other factors in
`13 deciding that a search is concluded?
`14 · A. Well, as I stated previously, a
`15 skilled searcher will actively and
`16 dynamically adjust the search, respond to
`17 the references being presented to the
`18 searcher during the search, whether the
`19 references are converging, repeating
`20 themselves, seeing the same references over
`21 and over again. Whether the references are
`22 diverging based on certain search strings.
`
`20 Q.· · Mr. Lhymn, when you were
`21 looking at the results -- you did look at
`22 these results in Exhibit 2100, right?
`23 A. Yes.
`24 Q. When you were looking at the
`25 results between the first result and the
`1 100th result, what was your assessment
`2 about whether the results were converging
`3 or diverging?
`4 A.· · I did not take notes on that.
`5 I do not know.

`
`
`Mr. Lhymn: Scope of a Reasonable Search
`
`15 Q.· · Would you agree that an
`16 ordinary skilled searcher would typically
`17 expect to review a thousand or more
`18 references generated by reasonable search
`19 strings?
`20 A.· · Yes.
`21 Q. Would you agree that they would
`22 do that in an effort to review the most
`23 relevant -- to find the most relevant prior
`24 art references?
`25 A. Yes.
`
`EX1115 at 68:15-25; Opp. at 10.
`17 Q. And you did that for each of

`20 search hits in this particular search
`21 string is 141.· That's very low.· That’s a
`22 very low number for a skilled searcher to
`23 review.· I have reviewed search strings
`24 upwards of 1,000 hits or more.
