`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`Patent Owner’s replies to the grounds are based on misdirection and
`
`mischaracterization of the claims and prior art. None have merit.
`
`II. A3UM Is Prior Art
`
`Facts no longer in dispute establish that, from February of 2010, skilled
`
`artisans exercising reasonable diligence could locate and retrieve A3UM (EX1005)
`
`from (i) apple.com (http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/), (ii)
`
`publicly distributed v3.0 Aperture 3 Installer DVDs (“Installer DVD”), and (iii)
`
`local copies of Aperture 3 after installation. Petition, 15; EX1003, ¶¶69-103;
`
`EX1020, ¶¶2-4.
`
`First, A3UM was accessible via Apple’s website after February 9, 2010. In
`
`contrast to Patentee’s theories why a skilled artisan might not have found A3UM
`
`on Apple’s website (Response, 30), Mr. Birdsell testified that at least 100,000
`
`individuals actually did access it between February and June of 2010, based on his
`
`recollection of Apple analytical reports of “documentation.apple.com[.]” EX2026,
`
`51:16-20, 54:6-22, 55:20-56:11; also EX1020 ¶7. He also recalled loading the
`
`HTML file set that is A3UM onto a staging server on February 8, 2010, and
`
`“within a few hours after publication” on February 9, 2010, he and his team
`
`verified “the files were live and accessible to customers and that all the links
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00032
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`worked.” EX2026, 36:19-36:12, 36:21-37:25; 59:6-8; EX1020, ¶¶10-11. No
`
`evidence contradicts this testimony.
`
`Second, A3UM existed in February 2010. Witnesses from both parties
`
`testified it is located on and can be retrieved from (i) the Installer DVD (EX1003,
`
`¶¶75-85 ; EX1020, ¶¶12-13; EX2025; ¶118; EX1089 and (ii) a local copy of the
`
`Aperture application bundle after installation. EX1003, ¶¶81-84, 91-92; EX2001
`
`¶¶105-111, EX2026, 25:19-24. Dr. Surati
`
`confirmed the Installer DVD has creation
`
`modification dates establishing files on it
`
`necessarily existed before February 2010.
`
`EX1089, 125:3-25; EX1073, 1.
`
`Third, knowledge of the existence of
`
`A3UM cannot be disputed. Anyone who used Aperture 3 in February 2010 could
`
`access and inspect A3UM using the Aperture help window. EX1003, ¶¶87-90;
`
`EX1020, ¶12(b). The high volume of accesses of A3UM on Apple’s website
`
`confirms people were aware of A3UM starting in February 2010. Printed
`
`documentation in the Aperture 3 retail box explains the Aperture 3 user manual is
`
`on the computer after installation. EX1003, ¶99; EX1051, 7, 135, 159.
`
`Fourth, the Installer DVD was publicly distributed starting in February of
`
`2010. An array of evidence corroborates this, including (i) Apple’s press release
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00032
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`(EX1048, 1), (ii) Mr. Birdsell’s recollections about its release date, his activities
`
`around that release date, and that he witnessed it for sale in Apple stores then
`
`(EX1020, ¶¶5-7; EX2026, 59:10-60:10, 62:4-21), and (iii) webpages captured
`
`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).
`
`Skilled artisans thus knew of and could have retrieved A3UM starting in
`
`February 2010.
`
`A.
`
`Patentee Responds with Implausible Theories, Not Evidence
`
`First, Patentee claims Petitioner “fails to proffer any evidence of actual sales
`
`of the Aperture 3 product.” Response, 40-41. But actual sales are not required (In
`
`re Klopfenstein, 380 F.3d at 1351) and Mr. Birdsell’s testimony is evidence (In re
`
`Jolley, 308 F.3d 1317, 1328 (Fed. Cir. 2002); In re Apple Inc., 979 F.3d 1332,
`
`1336 (Fed. Cir. 2020)). It also is reliable—he had clear recollections of relevant
`
`facts and his testimony is corroborated by other evidence (e.g., reports of third
`
`parties using Aperture 3 in webpages captured before June 2010). EX1044, 1,
`
`EX1045, 2, EX1077, 1, EX1089, 181:14-182:11, 192:2-7, 189:10-14, 170:6-13.
`
`Patentee also disputes cases about numbers of copies that must distributed to
`
`establish public availability. Response, 51-52. Those cases found numbers far
`
`fewer than 100,000 copies were sufficient. Petition, 15 (“Cisco Sys., Inc. v.
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00032
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`Centripetal Networks, Inc., IPR2018-01436, Paper 40 at 23-31 (Jan. 23, 2020) (586
`
`sales sufficient); Mass. Inst.of Tech. v. AB Fortia, 774 F.2d 1104, 1109 (Fed. Cir.
`
`1985) (six copies sufficient)”).
`
`Patentee also theorizes skilled persons might not have associated “Aperture”
`
`with “photo management” and or could not find relevant Aperture 3 webpages on
`
`apple.com in 2010. Response, 32-37. But it’s expert refuted those theories,
`
`testifying: (i) skilled artisans could have found the Aperture 3 product page in 2010
`
`by searching Google for generic terms like “photo editing and management
`
`software” (EX1089, 203:22-204:24), (ii) searching for “Aperture support” would
`
`locate the Aperture support webpage on apple.com (Id., 187:12-189:5) (iii) the
`
`Aperture support page could be located with a Google search for “Aperture
`
`support” (EX1089, 187:12-188:8; also EX1003, ¶101, Petition, 17-18), and (iv)
`
`webpages before June 2010 associating “Aperture” with “photo management
`
`software” would likely be found by Google searches (EX1089, 202:1-5, 203:12-21,
`

`
`B. Dr. Surati’s Testimony Is Not Credible
`
`Patentee, relying on Dr. Surati’s declaration, contends a skilled artisan could
`
`not have found or retrieved A3UM from the installer DVD or the Aperture
`
`application bundle after installation with reasonable effort. Response, 44. Dr.
`
`Surati’s testimony is not reliable. As his deposition shows, he was unfamiliar with
`
`how MacOS applications are organized and distributed, that their help files are
`
`typically stored in the application bundle, and how to reveal hidden files. EX1089,
`
`405:20-406:19; EX2025, ¶119-127. And despite confirming a skilled person would
`
`have consulted Apple documentation or MacOS “how to” books if they had
`
`questions, he did not. EX1089, 44:2-14; 41:23-42:2, 42:23-43:8, 36:2-11, 405:20-
`
`406:8, 406:13-19.
`
`After reviewing such documentation1, Dr. Surati confirmed it teaches:
`

`
`(i) MacOS applications exist as an “application bundle” with a
`
`standardized folder structure having several standard subfolders
`
`(EX1089, 57:2-17, 59:3-12, 42:23-43:8; also EX1003 ¶93);
`
`(ii)
`
`the standard “Resources” subfolder contains various files used by the
`
`application other than executable code (EX1089, 59:13-23);
`
`(iii)
`
`the “Resources” subfolder is where help content is found that
`
`“typically consists of a set of HTML files” and HTML files in the
`
`application bundle can be opened “using an external application, such
`
`as … Safari” (EX1071, 5-6; EX1089, 97:9-13, 98:5-11; also EX1003,
`
`¶¶93-94);
`
`(iv) MacOS application bundles are distributed to users in installer
`
`packages on disk images (EX1066, 316-320, EX1069, 73, 142 ,);
`
`(v) when installer packages are double clicked, they launch the Installer
`
`program that copies the application bundle and related files to a user’s
`
`computer (EX1069, 142; EX1089, 76:7-16, 54:21-55:6); and
`
`(vi)
`
`the contents of installer packages and application bundles can be
`
`inspected using a “Show Contents” command. (EX1069, 142;
`
`EX1070, 3-4; EX1089, 80:5-15, 86:16-23)
`
`Thus, a skilled artisan who took even the most basic steps to familiarize
`
`himself with how MacOS applications are organized and distributed would have
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00032
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`known where to look for HTML help files (e.g., A3UM) in the Aperture 3
`
`application bundle (i.e., in the “Resources” folder) and how to retrieve them from
`
`(i) the Installer DVD and (ii) after installation, the local copy of the Aperture 3
`
`application bundle. EX1003, ¶93; EX2025, ¶117; EX1089, 44:2-14, 42:23-43:8,
`
`36:2-11, 407:20-408:8.
`
`Indeed, at his deposition, Dr. Surati analogized locating A3UM within the
`
`Installer DVD to finding a book in a library. EX1089, 407:8-19.
`
`C. A3UM Can Be Retrieved from the Installer DVD
`
`A skilled artisan asked to investigate what was on the v3.0 Aperture 3
`
`Installer Disk would start by inserting it into a Macintosh. When Dr. Surati did
`
`that, he reported seeing the window below (EX2025, ¶¶111-113, EX2001, ¶53):
`
`
`
`The artisan would expect a MacOS Installer DVD to contain installer
`
`packages (files ending with “.pkg” or “.mpkg.”). EX1066, 316; EX1089, 131:23-
`
`132:10. Not seeing any, she might inspect the “Install Aperture file,” which reveals
`
`it is an alias to a hidden meta-installation package file called “Aperture.mpkg”.

`The artisan would know Unix (EX1089, 16:4-14) and that MacOS is based
`
`on Unix (EX1089, 71:23-72:8), so if she did not how to show hidden files in
`
`MacOS, she could display them in the Terminal by typing “ls -l -a.” That
`
`command lists hidden files and directories even if MacOS is not showing hidden
`
`files. EX1069, 112; EX1089, 72:21-24, 73:18-74:4, 108:18-21; EX1073, 6

`would take ~10 minutes. EX1066, 400; EX1089, 135:16-21, 136:24-137:3.
`
`Dr. Surati testified the artisan also could have identified which of the ten
`
`installer packages on the Installer DVD contained the Aperture 3 application
`
`bundle by its name and properties: it has the filename “aperture.pkg” and a
`
`sufficient size. EX1089, 141:25-142:20; EX1073, 5 (below):

`and selecting “Show Package Contents.” EX1089, 86:16-87:5, 100:17-101:2,
`
`EX1003, ¶79. From there, she would need only a couple steps to locate, copy and
`
`decompress the Unix gz file containing the Aperture application bundle (i.e.,
`
`“Archive.pax.gz”), as Dr. Terveen demonstrated And Dr. Surati confirmed.
`
`EX1003, ¶¶79-80; EX2025, ¶124;EX1089, 64:6-65:2.
`
`The artisan would expect an application's help files in HTML format would

`
`
`
`D. A3UM Is Accessible After Installation
`
`Patentee can’t dispute that installing Aperture 3 from the v3.0 Aperture
`
`Installer DVD is trivial or that it copies A3UM to the user’s computer. EX1003,
`
`¶¶83-85, 91-98; EX1020, ¶¶12, 14; EX2026, 25:19-24. Dr. Surati confirmed this.
`
`EX2025, ¶117. So Petitioner argues instead that accessing it on the hard drive after
`
`installation would impose an “unreasonable” burden. Response, 32-39. But as the
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00032
`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`record proves, A3UM is exactly where a skilled artisan would expect it to be based
`
`on Apple guidelines (i.e., the “usermanual” folder in the “Resources” subfolder of
`
`the application bundle). EX1071, 5-6; EX1003, ¶¶ 90-93.
`
`Patentee also contends A3UM is not a publication but a software
`
`component. Response, 52. But as both experts and the Apple guidelines confirm,
`
`the A3UM HTML files in the Aperture 3 application bundle can be viewed with a
`
`Safari web browser without Aperture 3 running.2 EX1003, ¶94; EX1089, 27:4-7,
`
`98:5-99:10; EX1071, 5; EX2023, 80:2-81:6; EX2026, 71:11-72:8.

`
`EX1005 Is a True and Correct Copy of A3UM
`
`Patentee contends “it is impossible to know if Ex. 1005 accurately represents
`
`what was available on [apple.com] in 2010” without evidence that A3UM was
`
`archived before June 2010. Response, 37. That is incorrect.
`
`First, Patentee has not disputed that EX1005 is a true and correct copy of the
`
`A3UM HTML file set on the v3.0 Aperture Installer DVD. The “provenance” of
`
`A3UM is also clear— the footer reports the path to each HTML file used to render
`

`
`each page, and they are all in the “usermanual” subfolder in the “Resources”
`
`subfolder of a local copy (i.e,. “file:///”) of the Aperture 3 application bundle.
`
`
`
`EX1005; EX1003, ¶81. See EX1003, ¶73; EX2024, 252:13-15 (explaining
`
`EX1005 “was produced from the HTML files themselves, not by going through
`
`Aperture’s Help system”). Dr. Surati confirmed he could retrieve the A3UM
`
`HTML file set from the Installer DVD as Dr. Terveen did. EX1089, 139:20-140:1;
`
`EX2025, ¶117; EX1003, ¶¶80-81.
`
`Second, Dr. Surati confirmed that all the files on the Installer DVD existed
`
`by January 21, 2010 and could not be modified after that date. EX1089, 125:3-25;
`
`EX1073, 1.
`
`Third, Mr. Birdsell testified that the same A3UM HTML file set was (i)
`
`packaged for distribution on the Installer DVD and (ii) loaded on apple.com.
`
`EX2026, 40:15-41:10; 41:17-42:12 (explaining they were “one-for-one copies.”);
`
`also EX1020, ¶4.
`
`Thus because EX1005 was produced from HTML files on the v3.0 Aperture
`
`Installer DVD that existed before February 2010, and because that HTML file set
`
`is “one-for-one” identical to the one accessible from the Aperture support page

`15
`
`
`

`
`Petitioner’s Reply
`
`(i.e., apple.com/aperture/support webpage), EX1005 was publicly accessible from
`
`the apple.com website and from the Installer DVD.
`
`The only “evidence” Patentee identifies in response is a screen capture of
`
`A3UM from after June 2010 displaying a different copyright date.3 Response, 39-
`
`40. That is irrelevant—it is not EX1005. EX2026, 41:17-42:12. Also, Patentee
`
`does not identify any substantive inconsistencies between the EX1021 table of
`
`contents and the EX1005 manual.
`
`F. Mr. Birdsell Is Credible
`
`Patentee criticizes Mr. Birdsell’s testimony as based on recollections and
`
`being from an Apple employee. Response, 44-46. But witnesses ordinarily testify
`
`from their recollections, and Patentee had ample opportunity to prove bias or
`
`defective recollections and failed to do so.
`
`Mr. Birdsell’s recollections are also corroborated by other evidence. Jolley,
`
`308 F.3d 1328, Apple, 979 F.3d 1336; EX1020, ¶13 (A3UM in application bundle

`EX2026 59:10-60:9, 62:4-21;

`
`First, the dates of EX1034 and EX1040 are consistent with Internet Archive
`
`URL standards, about which Dr. Surati testified extensively. EX1089, 17:14-18:19,

`48:7-10, 49:18-21, 169:15-170:13.
`
`Second, EX1033 and EX1035 bear dates of 2009 and 2007.
`
`Third, the ’376 Patent references Google Maps, confirming a skilled artisan
`
`would be familiar with Google Maps API. See EX1001, Figs. 5, 41; EX1089,
`
`221:23-222:19.
`
`Fourth, the Board found a sufficient basis for combining A3UM and Belitz
`
`without relying on any of these exhibits for reasonable expectation of success
`
`(referencing Dr. Terveen’s use of EX1033 (Picasa) only to illustrate result of
`
`combination, Paper 12 at 50 (citing EX1003, ¶¶126, 129)).
`
`
`
`Finally, even if not prior art, “the Board can rely on evidence other than just
`
`prior art” for some purposes. Yeda Rsch. & Dev. Co. v. Mylan Pharms. Inc., 906

`
`IV. The Challenged Claims Are Unpatentable
`
`The petition established that claims 1-12 are obvious over A3UM, Belitz,
`
`and Rasmussen. Petition, 26-80. None of Patentee’s arguments in response have
`
`any merit.
`
`A.
`
`Independent Claim 1
`
`The evidence cited in Apple’s petition proves the combination of A3UM,
`
`Belitz, and Rasmussen renders claim 1 obvious. Petition, 26-57. Attempting to
`
`show non-obviousness of claim 1, Patentee offers four failed arguments.
`
`First, Patentee contends the interactive map disclosed in A3UM cannot
`
`cover more than half the screen area (Response, 49), but Dr. Surati confirmed it
`
`could. EX1089 345:9-20, 347:20-348:9.
`
`Second, Patentee claims the Petition failed to demonstrate that it was
`
`obvious to display a “second location view” without the map in response to
`
`selecting a thumbnail. Response, 52-53 (citing Petition, 47-48). But Patentee’s
`
`challenge doesn’t respond to the combination actually proposed in the petition.
`
`Petition, 53-55.
`
`Third, Patentee claims that displaying a location view including a second
`
`map image in response to selecting a map marker was not obvious (Response, 56-
`
`62), but again overlooks and fails to rebut the evidence and explanations in the
`
`Petition. Petition, 55-57.

`
`A3UM discloses “the interactive map comprising a majority
`portion of the first screenshot”
`
`It is undisputed that A3UM discloses an interactive map that can comprise
`
`the majority of the window containing it. Petition, 40. Patentee’s assertion to the
`
`contrary (Response, 48-52) did not survive Dr. Surati’s deposition.
`
`Dr. Surati, in his declaration, based his calculations on a single A3UM
`
`image, concluding the map’s share of the area was 39%. EX2025, ¶¶132-140. But
`
`after being walked through A3UM’s disclosure showing that the Inspector pane
`
`and toolbar can be hidden (EX1005, 46, 64), he admitted A3UM teaches that the
`
`map can be resized to occupy over 60% of the window:
