`
`Your iPhone camera tags your photos

`(unless, that is, you don’t wantit to) and
`embedsthis information in them. You can
`then view images by location with a fea-

`with the Photos app:

`
`In addition, as discussed above, a skilled searcher of ordinary skill

`

`
`Apple’s Public Accessibility Arguments
`
`Fourth, the Installer DVD was publicly distributed starting in February of
`
`2010. An array of evidence corroboratesthis, including (i) Apple’s press release
`
`(EX1048, 1), (ii) Mr. Birdsell’s recollections aboutits release date, his activities
`
`aroundthat release date, and that he witnessedit for sale in Apple stores then
`
`Apple Inc. v. MemoryWeb, LLC
`IPR2022-00033, Paper 39 at 47-48 (PTAB May18, 2023)
`
`that suggests Mr. Birdsell’s testimony is unreliable. Petitioner, however, has
`
`provided corroborating evidence to show that Aperture 3 was marketed,
`
`including a press release (Exhibit 1048), a feature on the home page of
`
`Apple (Exhibit 1021), and two separate reviewerarticles (Exhibits 1044,
`
`1045). See also Ex. 2026, 57:3—12 (stating that the presence of Aperture 3
`
`manufacture three separate versions also supports this finding. Though
`
`(EX1020, 95-7; EX2026, 59:10-60:10, 62:4-21), and (iii) webpages captured
`
`Petitioner’s expert apparently lacked personal knowledge of Aperture 3 prior
`
`between February and June 2010 reporting experiences of people using Aperture 3.
`
`EX1044, 1; EX1045, 2; EX1077, 1; EX1089, 181:14-182:11, 192:2-7, 189:10-14,
`
`170:6-13.
`
`Reply (Paper37), 3
`
`to this case, Mr. Birdsell’s testimony, along with the other evidence
`
`corroborating Apple’s marketing and sales of Aperture 3, shows that
`
`POSITAs would likely have known about Aperture 3. See, e.g., Ex. 1020,
`
`{| 7 (noting that at least 100,000 copies of Aperture 3 were sold); Ex. 2026,
`
`51:16—20 (stating that website analytics corresponded with sales); 54:15—22
`
`(discussing website access volume for Aperture 3); Exs. 1044, 1045, 1048
`
`(published press releases and product reviews of Aperture 3). Wefindit far
`
`more likely than not that A3UM waspublicly accessible throughretail sales
`
`of Aperture 3 software at least as of June 2010.
