`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`As Apple demonstrated in its initial brief, the record evidence confirms there is no proper
`
`basis for finding a violation of Section 337 by Apple, and that Complainants are instead using this
`
`forum to create litigation pressure on Apple and clear a path for an aspirational product not yet in
`
`release on the open market—the “Masimo Watch.” Complainants’ reply brief—replete with
`
`overheated rhetoric but lacking in actual supporting evidence—does nothing to salvage their case.
`
`While Complainants urge that direct competition is not required to find a violation, a
`
`protectable domestic industry indisputably is. Complainants have failed to meet their burden to
`
`prove one exists with respect to either the Masimo Watch or the “rainbow sensors.” With respect
`
`to the Masimo Watch, Complainants failed to allege, let alone prove, the presence of any
`
`“significant and unusual developments” that would permit reliance on post-Complaint evidence.
`
`The law thus requires assessing the asserted domestic industry at the time of the Complaint, but
`
`Complainants make no showing in their brief that the Masimo Watch project satisfied either the
`
`technical or economic prongs at that time. Even as of the hearing itself, Complainants were unable
`
`to establish—e.g., through source code, a demonstration, or comparisons to a reference device—
`
`that any Watch “physical” actually measures or monitors any physiological parameter. With
`
`respect to the rainbow sensors, both the technical and economic evidence were riddled with holes,
`
`as detailed in Apple’s opening brief and discussed further below. For example, nowhere have
`
`Complainants even identified which rainbow sensors fall into the Complainants’ “early” and
`
`“current” product categories—preventing a finding of the requisite nexus between the rainbow
`
`sensors and the proffered product data.
`
`The gaps in Complainants’ evidence extend to other issues—including invalidity and non-
`
`infringement—where Complainants’ arguments fail on both evidentiary and common-sense

`

`
`
`
`
`
`grounds. As just one example, if Complainants were correct that they were the first to develop
`
`critical inventions needed for a watch containing a pulse oximeter, why is the Masimo Watch still
`
`not on sale on the open market even today, in July 2022, years after Apple began selling the
`
`accused Apple Watches? Aware of the shortcomings in their evidence, Complainants seek in their
`
`initial post-hearing brief to ignore the prior art that invalidates the Asserted Patents and raise new
`
`claim constructions across all Asserted Patents that attempt to read out critical limitations—
`
`because Complainants lack proof that those limitations are met by the Accused Apple Watches
`
`(they are not). Such arguments are both untimely and meritless.
`
`Complainants also resort to attacking Apple’s engineers with baseless allegations of
`
`copying and Apple’s trial counsel with accusations of trying to “distract from the merits,” “relying
`
`on unsupported innuendo,” “rant[ing],” and making “improper attorney speeches [that] appear to
`
`have been an attempt to mislead.” CIB 2-3. None of this happened. Complaints further suggest
`
`that if public interest had been delegated, they would have proven that Apple “deceiv[ed] the
`
`public” to make sales of Apple Watch. Id. at 3. As with their allegations that are before the ALJ,
`
`Complainants could not have proven that, because it is simply not true.
`
`Complainants’ misguided attacks also include arguing that “Apple introduced no evidence
`
`on its other bold promises from its opening.” Id. at 5. Complainants miscast aspects of Apple’s
`
`opening statement, and the record evidence precisely supported Apple’s actual opening statement.
`
`For example, Complainants allege that Apple “argued Masimo’s patents claimed technology of
`
`the lowest common denominator, and Apple would never seek to patent such features” but that
`
`“the evidence showed Apple filed multiple patents on the very limitations that Apple argued were
`
`‘old as the hills.’” Id. at 5. But what Apple’s counsel actually said (in the context of discussing
`
`the ’745 patent) was: “If that’s the purported innovation here, changing light from one shape to
`
`- 2 -
`
`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`14
`
`
`
`another by running it through a structure, the Fresnel lens in the Series 0 is certainly an example
`
`of that. … Again, we would never claim that's a patentable invention, but, if that’s the contention,
`
`the Fresnel lens invalidates.” Tr. 56:16-57:6. That an Apple patent mentions a Fresnel lens in a
`
`dependent claim does not suggest that Apple viewed either the lens itself or its effect of changing
`
`light from one shape to another as inventive. It did not. That form of lens was, as Professor
`
`Sarrafzadeh explained, an old idea—and at least as old as Apple’s own Series 0 Watch. Tr.
`
`[Sarrafzadeh] 1092:23-1093:8 (discussing RX-0392C.0006); see also Tr. [Venugopal] 819:7;
`
`823:1-9.
`
`Similarly, Complainants allege that Apple “promised it would ‘put in evidence’ of the
`
`Apple Watch Series 0 commercial release,” but “never introduced documentary evidence
`
`reflecting its final design or release.” CIB 6. This too is false both in its description of what was
`
`promised and what was introduced. Apple’s counsel stated: “The Series 0 watch was released to
`
`great public fanfare in 2014. The Apple witnesses will testify to exactly that.” And they did. See
`
`Tr.
`
`[Venogupal] 818:10-15;
`
`[Block] 910:22-9:11:2;
`
`[Land] 956:23-957:1, 962:15-19;
`
`[Sarrafzadeh] 1090:15-23. Even Complainants’ CEO agreed this date was not subject to
`
`reasonable dispute. See Tr. [Kiani] 138:1-4 (“Q. And you understand the very first watch, the
`
`Series 0, was released in April of 2015. A. Yes. I don't remember the exact timing, but I'm sure
`
`those dates are correct.”). Moreover, contrary to Complainants’ claims, Apple introduced
`
`“documentary evidence” of both the release and design of the Series 0. See, e.g., RX-0023 [Series
`
`0 Press Release]; RX-0392C
`
`820:10-15 (explaining that
`
`through Series 3).

`
`Complainants’ allegation that Apple failed to introduce evidence of an “improper purpose”
`
`is similarly inaccurate. CIB 5. Apple noted during opening statements that “[this Investigation]
`
`was initiated explicitly because of Masimo's dissatisfaction with the pace of the District Court
`
`case. And, Your Honor, respectfully, we believe that initiating an investigation on those grounds
`
`is not a proper purpose, and, moreover, it led to Masimo prematurely filing this case, its complaint
`
`in this case, long before any mature domestic industry existed industry existed for at least four of
`
`the five patents-in-suit, and for all five of them we believe there's no domestic industry meriting
`
`an exclusion order in this case.” Tr. 41:23-42. Every element of that statement was borne out by
`
`the evidence, starting with Mr. Kiani’s admission that Masimo was motivated to bring this action
`
`by the pace of the district cour
